Audio books are no longer expensive to produce. I bet my ass most except for the biggest titles will be AI generated in very short time. Whether people like it or not.

My ass probably could appreciate real performance if I was into audiobooks overall, I just like books as books. I’m not exactly happy about all content being replaced with AI slop. However I don’t think spotify cares, if something is cheaper they will go for it, just like other corpos.
Oh well I think they will be losing as well, people don’t even really need the audio book providers anymore, since they could just do AI ebooks themselves if they just have the text ebook.

If you read the article, the main point was that Spotify doesn’t inform about the limits clearly. Not the pricing.
Even now Spotify site says: “Spotify Premium: Listen without limits”. Clearly there is a limit, but the limits are only mentioned after the first subscription button if you scroll far enough.
