Audible's Broken Promise

This video examines Audible’s new royalty model, which has been met with controversy, and its potential negative impact on authors’ earnings and market transparency. Featuring insights from creator Daniel Greene and author Robin Sullivan, we explain how the “Plus” catalog shifts revenue from paid purchases to cover “free” listens—often without authors realizing it. While Audible claims the change benefits some, critics like Brandon Sanderson argue it harms most creators, promotes streaming over ownership, and lacks transparency. We also review ongoing efforts, including a Change.org petition, to demand fairer pay for authors.
