I have like 12* (?) books written in first POV from 2009 to 2016 because I came from 🇵🇭 chick lit and that was the norm. When I started publishing INTL there would be comments that they couldn't get into the books because 1st POV instead of 3rd alternating.
I've done 3rd alternating since 2017,
I've done 3rd alternating since 2017,
I have always found the POV wars somewhat amusing in a disconnected way, like I can not tell you what POV a book I enjoyed was written in most of the time, because if I'm sitting around paying attention to the POV then it is clearly not engaging me enough
