Reminds me of ebook/audiobook recommendations in the major ebook stores. You can even tell it “I’m not interested in this author” and the same book will still show up five times as you scroll through recommendations. Gotta be some marketing incentives going on to push certain titles this hard.

I listen to mostly non-fiction, and occasionally listen to things like Dungeon Crawler Carl or The Martian. But we’re talking 30 non-fiction to 1 fiction.
Every audible recommendation is about some new fiction author.
Recommendation isnt catered towards anybody except advertising. It’s stupid as hell.

Audible recommendations are generally laughably bad
I mainly listen to scifi
“Here, our newly released fantasy romance novels and weird biographies of people you never heard of”
It’s the bad amazon recommendations algorithm on crack
