"...streamlines all stages of book production, distribution, and promotion..." is telling language.

These aren't people who care about books or reading or anything remotely related. These are opportunists and extractive capitalists.
The Spines platform streamlines all stages of book production, distribution, and promotion, catering to print, electronic, and audiobook editions. The process takes less than three weeks from receiving the text to publishing the book, compared to the current industry average of 6–18 months, and reduces costs by over 50%. Authors on the platform can approve AI-generated proposals at every stage and, if desired, opt for human intervention by professionals affiliated with Spines. Spines’ technology performs text editing, proofreading, and cover design, with the cover tailored to the book's content and the categories recommended by the platform’s algorithms. The system creates over 70 different versions for each book to optimize compatibility with more than 100 distribution channels that Spines collaborates with. Upon release, the platform automates the book's distribution across these channels and optimizes its metadata to improve search visibility for target audiences. Additionally, Spines manages authors’ royalties across distribution channels. Founded in 2021, Spines was established by Yehuda Niv, CEO, Lev David, CMO, Niv Ovdat, COO, Nir Kenner, CTO. Yehuda Niv is also the founder of Niv Publishing, which he started in 2013. Within a decade, Niv Publishing became the largest publishing house in Israel, producing 1,200 new printed and digital books annually—about 15% of the Israeli book market.

“How’d the world die? A pack of no-talent tech grifters created a digital artbarf machine to spew endless artbarf and each time the machine threw up it drank more water, destroyed more resources. Nobody wanted it but they did it anyway! Eat your roach paste.”
