Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The audiobooks and ebooks I sell through my Kickstarters are sold without any DRM, and also without any "terms and conditions." You are buying these books, not "licensing" them. That means you can do anything with these books that copyright law allows: sell 'em, give 'em away, lend 'em to a friend. Just don't violate copyright law and we're cool.</p><p>This book, Enshittification, synthesizes all the essays, speeches and panels I've done on the subject of platform decay into a single, coherent argument designed to be accessible to everyone, even (especially) your normie friends who know that everything sucks but don't understand why and are paralyzed about what to do about it.</p><p>Enshittification will change the way you see the world, and just might change the world itself. Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist.</p><p>The book's not out until October – it'll be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (US/Canada) and Verso (UK/Commonwealth), but it's already getting fantastic early notices.

Jennifer<p>If you like audiobooks, or if you dislike Amazon and how predatory it is, please check out this petition to try to get Audible to change their new proposed payment model to pay authors fairly. Robin Sullivan, wife and business partner of fantasy author Michael Sullivan, does a good job of explaining the new system and showing how bad it will be for authors not in the "Plus" program. Daniel Green just did an interview with Robin on YouTube that does a deep dive into the changes, that's where I found the petition. It's also linked below.

Bianca Bertrams<p>Und für alle, die heute tatsächlich vielleicht gar nichts tun nüssen und lesen können, erzähle ich einfach mal, was mir diesbezüglich in letzter Zeit so gefallen hat. Vielleicht ist ja was für irgendwen dabei. :-) Sind allerdings fast alles Kamellen. Was da so neu erscheint, zumindest bei <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audible</span></a>, find ich nur noch traurig gerade. Aber es ist sowieso mal wieder Zeit für Ebooks, damit ich wieder unter den Fingern statt mit den Ohren lesen kann.</p>

Robert Kingett<p>Other authors, I actually have enough audio to make a little Sightless Scribbles starter pack audiobook of sorts. Thing is, I am literally the worst with math, so if I tried to do any royalties, I would be in court quicker than you can blink because of my inadequate math skills, so what audiobook platform is everybody using? I don’t want to go with ACX because <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audible</span></a> hates creatives and is actively trying to harm multiple creators, so does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there a platform that would handle these royalty payouts for me? I’m also not even sure if narrators get royalties or not? I paid for all of these narrations in the past. I’m just collecting them now. <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Publishing</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Authors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Authors</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/IndieAuthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieAuthors</span></a></p>

For the first time in probably over a year, I’ve got my reading groove back! I’m in the middle of five books at the moment. While I would never say reading audiobooks isn’t reading, because it is, I find that I retain things better if I read in Braille. Also, I have the very unfortunate and extremely annoying habit of falling asleep while reading audiobooks, and then I have to go back and figure out where I was. Not that I’m abandoning <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/VoiceDream" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VoiceDream</span></a> and <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audible</span></a>, not at ll. My display is just making it easier to read more.</p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"There's a whole class of audiobooks where AI can be a perfect substitute – thanks to Audible, and its enshittification. Audible has waged war on unionized voice actors, replacing them with desperate newbies who will tolerate terrible working conditions, including a practice called "punch and roll" that makes actors responsible for doing their own editing when they misspeak, rather than re-recording a passage for an editor to fix later ("pickups"). There are plenty of Audible books that are recorded without a director or an editor or a proofer, meaning that inexperienced actor's mistakes and mispronunciations survive into the final product. These books, produced by the monopolist audiobook platform, with a 90%+ market share for popular fiction, are already degraded to the point of being not fit for purpose. Replacing the actors with AI barely makes a difference.</p><p>AI text-to-speech is a giant improvement on existing TTS tools, and there are plenty of people who stand to benefit from this, for example, people with visual impairments. But there's no business model in selling readaloud bots to blind people – certainly not a model that recoups the hundreds of billions that has been sprayed around for AI training and operation.</p><p>The AI business model relies on obliterating the wage bill of workers and replacing it with a cheaper software license. Unfortunately (for the fortunes of AI investors) the majority of workers whose wages can be readily swapped for a software license are the lowest-paid, most precarious ones, people whose jobs have already been degraded and enshittified to the point where no one will notice the difference if they are replaced with a chatbot."</p><p><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/08/06/unmerchantable-substitute-goods/#customer-disservice" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pluralistic.net/2025/08/06/unm</span><span class="invisible">erchantable-substitute-goods/#customer-disservice</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CustomerService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CustomerService</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audiobooks</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audible</span></a></p>
