I thought the advice was "just write smut", is it "just write YA" now?

There goes my plan of writing Micro-Smut scenes and selling them for 99p self published. What have I been reading all this literature for as research?! I don't even like smut!

Romantasy exists to solve this problem

Is it like Greektasy, only a bit further west, or something else entirely?

Joke's on me, I don't like romantasy either. I like my fiction to be philosophy disguised as magic and spaceships.

Romance is what sells though, and I'm glad something sells to keep authors around writing my pensive wankery.

I did toy with the idea of writing the chapter long smut pieces I see around. Then decided I would have to devote more time than I want to devote to smut to do it right and not scam people.
