About this listen

Please listen to this if like me you are hopelessly addicted to audible. I now discover that I can also get audiobooks on Spotify and although they are not a nice company either it works fine. I'm interested to see if this review is published as my negative reviews for books weirdly disappear, so a review that supports a book critical of audible is an interesting test of their AI algorithms.

A must listen for all of us enslaved to audible

Absolutely brilliant !

I have no further questions.

A piece, explaining what is wrong with the model of audible, is still used by audible to create revenue. It's almost poetic.

And audible still cashes in on it?
