All I can say is that, as a writer, even cheap copy editors are expensive. My choice seems to be: spend hundreds of dollars per book to make sure there aren’t any mistakes, or brace for negative reviews complaining about typos. It’s honestly a really hard choice because I fucking hate bad reviews and I want to produce an excellent product. I get around the problem at the moment by having a computer read to me and using volunteer alpha and beta readers, but I’m still nervous about publishing books that haven’t been edited by a professional.

As for the idea that copy editors are white supremacist, I get it. I actually worked as one for a few months and couldn’t stand it. The only other copy editor I knew was remarkably white, even among white people. The white supremacist ideological superstructure is trapped in the 19th century because the economic base itself is trapped in the 19th century.
