It sounds to me like they're considering an ad-supported membership tier — i.e., lower subscription price in exchange for limited ads, much like some streaming services do (and no one seems to complain about that). Like such streaming services, I'm guessing there will be an ad-free tier for those willing to pay full membership price.
If they do proceed with ads, I'm hoping it only applies to Audible Plus (or some other subscription/membership model like Audible Plus). I find it hard to believe it would apply to audiobooks you purchase outright. |
Right. If it's a free tier, it won't affect me and this model makes sense for those who don't want to pay a membership free but would still like the audio.
I would have an issue if ads were introduced in the premium plus titles, though, as I mainly keep a membership fee up for that choice.
I doubt they would put in ads for books purchased with credit or cash.
