Audible's New Gimmick To Get You To Buy More Audiobooks
https://www.audible.com/ep/listening-challenge?

Quote:
Turn listening into an achievement
Join Audible’s first-ever listening challenge. It’s an easy way to fit more audio entertainment into your day—and unlock an exclusive achievement badge.

How to get started
Open the Audible app, then join the challenge. From there, choose your daily listening goal—10, 20, or 30 minutes a day. You’ll have 30 days to hit your goal 14 times.

Remember, every minute brings you closer to building a listening habit—and earning a fun, new badge. You’ve got this!
Some may like this, but it is not for me. To me reading is for pleasure or learning. It is not a competition even if it is with myself.

Anybody who would buy more Audible books just to earn silly badges deserves to be "tricked."

I've been earning Audible badges for a while now. They don't inspire me to do anything. *shrug*

I just buy books. I have no interest in badges or anything else. I didn't even know about badges until I received the email September 27th.

I have no interest in them either. But I also have no interest in other's possible interest in them either.

Audible has an aberrant bottom of the meaning of "fun".
