This article could use some clean up, but it's pretty solid overall. My only gripe is searching for a source that isn't YouTube. Daniele Greene's interview is probably the best one since we get info from an author who has actually been in conversation with Audible. Gonna work on reframing the article a bit around her words. But if we could get anything from her or someone in a similar position (YouTube or otherwise), that would be great. Otherwise, this article is only as strong as Greene's investigation and reporting. (I am personally invested in this story and hoping the Audible/Amazon monopoly is handled.) Beanie Bo (talk) 02:03, 8 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

I also wonder how directly related to consumer protection it is, with it primarily being about how authors get paid. I think it can probably get by on the 'misleading listeners about where their money goes' angle, but just thought it worth mentioning. Keith (talk) 07:18, 30 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I realized that after reviewing it again last night. It's more of a workers' right issue than consumers' right. I think it's great to see how low a subscription service is willing to go to monetize their completely unsustainable model and was hoping Louis would tack it onto his video. But yeah, not very CRW worthy, and I could see if you want a relevance notice added. Beanie Bo (talk) 12:15, 30 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
