A little of column A, but shades of "the industry in general."

I saw your picture before I realized it was you, and my first thought was "Oh, Alaska."
I miss it.

You see this across all forms of media—the fear of risk taking by publishers, except when negative attention is desired for alternative marketing.
Worse, the publishers train the audience.
For better or worse, a starred review in yesteryear might net a few thousand sales, and that was success.

To succeed, you need to sell, because otherwise nobody will ever read what you've written. (And despite all of the "write for yourself!" advice, writing is, as you allude to, necessarily communicative. It requires a reader.) But to even get to that point, you have to please the algorithm of capital.

I think it's more insidious. I write science fiction, and I'm constantly talking with other writers who are so married to the concept of commercial viability that they're terrified of taking risks, which is what you're saying, but it goes deeper—they're also afraid to take chances with the formula.

If you find that you've "solved" a problem in such a way, you haven't actually solved the problem, you've just gotten past the problem. Don't recommend your course of action to others.

Also, "I uh switched to wifi and it worked" is the sort of problem solving that's endemic to tech. I've always called it voodoo. (Relating to the pop culture concept, not actual Hatian vodou)
It's right up there with "reset your preferences," "reinstall drivers," "reboot," or "reinstall windows."

While our moral framework is based on fairness/harm reduction. Conservatives’ is authority/conformity/belief in a rigid social hierarchy with a shocking capacity for cruelty against designated out-groups. They DO NOT believe in equality. You’re poor/live in filth cuz of bad genes/laziness/stupidity

I think this is one of the more succinct ways I've seen this put.
