i have to add that of course wasting books isn't good, but i'm pretty sure there is either some regulatory shenanigans at play, making it cheaper to just recycle them OR it is really cheaper and thus more effective.
publishers would LOVE to accurately determine how many copies they will sell while keeping people reading these cheap paperbacks happy. trashing the books is costing the publishers money. putting the extra books into recycling at least pays back a bit.
if someone does buy the extra copies for the same amount that would probably be fine as well, but there is a reason these books didn't sell - nobody wanted them in the first place.
one sane person in this thread (suggesting that print on demand could be an option). everyone else just commielarping because "capitalism bad ™️"
note that everyone is talking about the poor poor authors who have to receive moar royalties. not about that the workers producing, transporting, and the workers recycling the books DO get paid. these people only care for their own intelligenzija class.

I send an email once a month for work and include a corny joke to get people to actually open it. I saw this one @sundogplanets and thought of you:

As I was driving to work one day, I spotted a woman standing out in a large field next to a telescope. She wasn't using the scope, just standing next to it.
On my way home the same woman is there, just standing in a large field with a telescope.
This scene repeated itself for a few more days, every time I drove past this large field.

“The European Environmental Agency tells us that everything above 55 decibels is making us #sick,” [Dr. Thomas Münzel, a German cardiologist who is a leader in the growing field of scientific researchers measuring the impact of urban and industrial #noise on humans,] says. The fact that the #Granbury #Bitcoin mine is emitting 70 or even 90 decibels on a nightly basis is “like #torture,” he says.

don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen."
