Love everything you're saying. Like always. This time I have a comment.

Books don't sell because of social media.
I don't meant that social media doesn't sell books. I mean that social media doesn't force books to sell. Not only that but, if a book is really going to sell, it's going to be the readers using social media to sell the book. Not the author.
Unfortunately, sometimes, books just don't sell. And no amount of me being on social media is going to sell a book the market has said it doesn't have a demand for. And the market is always right about the demand
The market is not making a designation about whether or not the book is good, well done, worth reading, etc. The market is only making a decision about whether or not there is a demand for the book right now.
Social media does not create demand. It responds to demand.
(And I know there will be people reading this who are saying, "but no, Becca, if you really try on TikTok, your books will sell," and to that I say, "that's not what the evidence says." The evidence of what's happening on every social media channel is that they are saturated and visibility is hard, and just more posting isn't the answer. You have to post content people want to consume. And that isn't equally easy for everyone.)
I love that so much! I have to read every single day. ❤️❤️
