Argh... once again Audible's #Enshittification reaches its tentacles out to degrade the options for everyone else; in this case, #librofm customers not being able to use our credits on new titles until Audible gets its exclusive turn at it for 3 months. @pluralistic it's already time for an addendum to the new book!

@pluralistic I was listening to Enshittification on audiobook (shout out to #LibroFM!) and learned something about my own government. I knew that the governing parties are in love with foreign direct investment, but it's strange to watch regulatory capture in real time:

Libro.fm is having a sale to benefit your local bookstore
@lilithsaintcrow has over 30 books on Libro.fm
What you do with this information is up to you :)
Thanks to a tip from @neurovagrant, I have cancelled my audible subscription and I have created an account with libro.fm.
As I listen to audiobooks alsmost exclusively in English, any Dutch services do not cover my audio/listening needs and wishes.
To check if libro.fm was a good fit for me, I compared my wishlist at audible (currently at about 30 titles) with the libro.fm catalogue: apart from 1 title it was a complete fit.
Next up: copying over my wishlist from one to the other, check out the specific membership options (probably going for a 2 credit/month version again) and get ready to listen.
Biggest perk: you can Download Your Purchased Audio Books!
Second biggest perk: supporting an independent bookstore, unfortunately only in the USA at the moment.
