There is no monetary incentive to blurb. An author can choose to blurb the book they read or abandon it. So far, we have had very honest authors who have chosen not to blurb books that they did not like. I don't see why an author would choose to discredit themselves by giving a glorious review to a horrible book. It not only discredits them but also their writing as well.
