> above all, CRUNCH YOUR NUMBERS for all likely cases
to tell people they have to "crunch the numbers first" is
to tell them they must make self-publishing a business.
that's one point-of-view, as you put it.
another point-of-view is to say "lower your costs to zero,
so you're not _forced_ to treat your book as a _business_."
if you take the latter approach, you can all it "art" instead,
or "an experiment in basing the world on gift-exchange
rather than commerce", or any of a variety of other labels,
including "giving something back to a community i love",
or "creative self-expression"
these are new options no-cost "subsidy publishers" enable.
as such, they exert _a_positive_
and do not deserve to be lumped with the "vanity presses"
of yesterday, which existed to separate money from fools.
i am happy to let the business point-of-view be promulgated.
why do you seem to have a big problem when i express mine?
people are intelligent enough to choose the one they like best.
