If you want to see what is coming you either need:
>To read solicits.
or
>Watch a youtuber read solicits.
or
>Have a shop owner recommend stuff.
Normal people think reading a brochure of stuff coming is boring. Watching someone go through solicits for two hours is also boring. Having a shop owner recommend stuff requires a decent shop owner who knows your taste and is beyond the capabilities of a lot of owners.
I literally found random /shelf/ anons with similar taste to mind to be a better way of finding interesting things to read.

>All these “problems” are just stupid shit you make up in your head
All these problems are in people's heads because they are perceptions. How someone "gets into something" is important to their continued interest. And people are really lazy nowadays and can easily just not get into something.
The comics fandom on social media is far bigger than people who actually read comics. People are literally interested in these dumb ass storylines like big event summaries but have no desire to read an actual comic. Or people follow the comic pipeline of "read x, y and z" and nothing else.
The dumb perceptions just seem to matter. Comics have a bizarre level of cultural baggage that manga doesn't have and even if you give a friend a comic they actually enjoy the level of overcoming this stuff is weirdly hard.
