People should boycott fiction authors who do book series

Why does everything fiction have to be a book series? Does anyone else hate book series? For me I like standalones. A book series always feels like a money grab. Like why couldn’t you just tell the story in one book? It feels very hard to find standalone fiction books these days. It feels like you have to go back to old school books like Catch 22 by Joseph Heller to avoid the sequels.

Same thing for movies and video game series. It’s so lazy to milk the same idea over and over again.
