That's not an objective source though. AI combs the internet. AI reflects back what the internet puts in. And the internet is not real life.
The internet can be a receptacle for the worst of us-- or, more accurately, the noisiest, and the most vitriolic.

I can 100% guarantee you that the concerns of the noisiest and most vitriolic online Spider-Man fans do NOT line up with the fans who show up each and every month at the register. All the online soothsayers who are CONVINCED that Nick Lowe should be fired or that Zeb Wells is cratering on ASM and that his departure is imminent... their heads would explode if they saw the actual sales figures for ASM. Those figures unveil a reality that is 180 degrees different the dark fantasy people like to fabricate online.
ASM sales are NOT a sure thing. I watched for close to 8 years where Avengers ruled the roost for books that sold the most-- and books that took the top spots in Marvel's yearly sales figures. ASM right now-- this past year-- this run that everyone online has been Chicken-Little-ing about? It's an unstoppable juggernaut that is dominating the charts. Both Lowe and Wells are locks. I kinda wish all of the comics were under one distributor again so people could just click on sites like Comichron and there wouldn't be any debate. The reality does not match up with the fantasy a lot of people are hoping is true-- mainly because they've found dozens-- or even hundreds-- of people who agree with them online.
