I feel like a lot of contemporary writers and editors fundamentally misunderstand the core concepts of writing in general and for their genre.

ETA; I suspect it hasn't actually changed but the books/authors that understand the logic of books are likely going to still be reread in 50 years. Especially over a book that fumbled it's way through. Survivors bias and all that.

Exactly. I also feel like many new writers, especially those on electronic only outlets, are not readers so they don’t necessarily know how to do it.
