Stardust Literacy... Worth It?


I was put onto Stardust Literacy via a video promotion on Tiktok sent to me by a friend, who suggested I create an account and put up a book or two to increase my reach in the local market etc. 

I had a look at the site and it seemed legit, a quick check revealed the site had a good reputation - at least security wise, and wasn't a scam.  At least, supposedly. (I still reserve judgement on that count.)

The premise is that authors post or share their books on the site and instead of people buying the books, the authors get paid according to how many views their books get. At least, that's what the lady in the Tiktok video said. I didn't see any explanations of that on the website itself when I went there to register as an author - and not in the author dashboard either - perhaps that was a red flag?
