When Kindle Unlimited has too much poor quality stuff, scams, etc. then a more effective response to Amazon might be to stop subscribing to Kindle Unlimited.
Personally, I have tried two KU trial membership promos - each was for "three months for 99 cents". I'm glad that they provided these trials, because I found out that for me, KU is worth right at "99 cents for three months". After each promo ended, I decided not to subscribe at the higher normal rate ($9.99 per month, is that what it is?) If another promo comes along that I am eligible for I will probably grab it since I have determined that 33 cents per month is reasonable payment for what they provide. Then most likely I'll cancel at the end of it again. Unless I find that they have added more of interest to me, so that the normal subscription price is justifiable. From a consumer (not an author) standpoint, I personally rate KU as very good in concept, good in execution, fair in content, and poor in pricing. But for a service like this I don't pay money for concept and execution, I pay for content. So the "only fair in content, and poor in pricing" pretty much nukes it for me. Except for cheap trial membership promos!
