Create your own market. If you're writing innovative or interesting stories there is always a market willing to buy. But the catch is you have to have this thing called..... Talent. And most people who sit around blaming their lack of success in a highly competitive field are not the type to have... Talent. Since a person with talent is capable of seeing... market potential.
You know why these minorities get their shit published? It's because there is an audience for it. Not many people in the general public care about your alt-right millennial angst novel. The key here is (many). Find the few and you can publish whatever you want.
Treat writing like a business. You always write with a specific audience in mind. If you can't grasp that simple concept you should maybe give up on writing fiction and focus more on posting higher quality shitposts.
