Trademarking our onion opinions

Hi hi!Today on the show! Former NRL player (and former Bachelor) Luke Bateman has inked a two-book deal with a major publishing house, and it’s ruffled some feathers over on BookTok. What is it about this deal that’s got people so mad? Is this a byproduct of a suffering publishing industry, or is the whole thing being blown out of proportion?
