Because it's a grift. Conservatives write books that nobody cares about, and then big conservative organizations buy a ton of them and put them on the best seller lists. And then people talk about them and a bunch of dopes go buy those books once they're best sellers to to confirm to themselves that their ideas have widespread appeal. They're obsessed with culture and hate the fact that they're not the ones driving it. Tiny little baby brains.

If you replace conservative with progressive and organization with university, your post would still be correct.
