I keep track of my "borrows" every year and compare what it would have cost to buy them with the subscription cost. I definitely get my money's worth so I don't mind that unlimited is actually limited. With the old credits, I found that there was still plenty of good stuff left in the old unlimited catalog to read that month. The throttling appears to limit you to something like the old unlimited. So you still sort of have unlimited but you've lost access to the newer releases and some best-sellers.
Where Scribd is especially good is that you do have access to brand new audiobooks (but not brand new books releases). Those usually have long waits at the libraries. I use Scribd to supplement what isn't at my libraries and I would have to otherwise purchase.
I do not have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. They don't have the big publisher books that I like.
I do not have an Audible subscription. Even at 3 audiobooks per month on a throttled Scribd I think it is a better value.
I am not one who re-reads books. Once and done except for special favorites.
