@tara_patel try a quick soak in hot water?

Yikes, that's brutal. Double opt-in by default is such a trap. Platforms should really make that stuff obvious, not hide it in the settings. It's like they want you to fail so you keep paying for more contacts. Learned that lesson the hard way too.

Used to think the author didn't matter at all, just the book in my hands. Then my group read a novel by a guy who turned out to be a real creep, and it poisoned the whole thing. Now I get why people bring it up, but letting it tank the whole vote feels wrong. Can't we just admit a book is good even if the person who wrote it isn't?
