It’s Audible’s (Amazon’s) variation of price discrimination. When everything effectively/officially costs the same*, there has to be some way of marking down the carp without seeming to. At the same time, they’re mopping up some credits, which will keep people reupping. And one reason they reup is to have access to the sales. Some people still drink the Kool-Aid.**
*Yeah, I know the true carp always costs less than the credit price, but that’s ancillary to this game.
**There are also those who get full value for whatever they pay per credit and I’m not talking about them.
