Are they actually? I’m so glad I cancelled my subscription.
Was listening to one of my audio books. After chapter 24 it came in with music then was a narrator introducing the book I am currently listening to. Thought my app glicthed and was back at the beginning then after 30 seconds it continued at chapter 25.
Then it did again at chapter 40. I then knew what it was. It a placement for them to put an ad. I owned this book for years and suddenly this was added in.
Think it a test.
Well, time for me to power listen to my remaining audible books before they’re ruined for me. I’m glad I went back to paperback books. Ain’t no ads getting suddenly added in my old faithfuls any time soon.
