If you are writing genre fiction (romance, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.), you are probably better off self-publishing, honestly. Romance and sci-fi in particular have very indie author friendly readers. Publishers these days expect authors to do most of their own promotion anyway.

I'll take your word for it, but I still think there should be a better middle-ground where good authors get a fair deal and a decent push from publishers.

Absolutely, mid list authors are not getting the support they once did.
