books (no, not asking where to find them - actually the opposite)
So I am an old time book hoarder, started with a small collection in the early 2000s of a few 100 books. Some I'd scanned myself. As time went by it got easier and easier to find new books. Woohoo, great.
As years went on, slowly more and more book packs (IRC ebookz etc) got to be rife with crap I don't want. Low effort romance/erotica crap they pump out by the 100 if not 1000 for the Amazon algo. I'm not talking Harlequin or legit romance publishers, those are not my thing but hey - I'll happily include them in my collection.
The crap I'm talking about you recognize when you see it: half naked bodybuilder on the cover, formulaic title like "Billionaire daddies temptress" or some BS. If you've seen a book pack in the last decade, you know what I mean.
I stopped collecting in like 2010-2015 mostly because of this, and I'm now trying to catch up so to speak but the problem has just gotten worse. Much worse. I just grabbed a TB (750K or so books) from various places that cover the years I'm missing and I swear 50%+ is crap.
WHAT DO? There's not enough hours in the day to manually sort all of it.
