"But I *need* an audiobook! It's what successful authors do!" And audiobook narrators *need* to be paid. Once you have money, pay for someone. If you don't have money, write more books, change up your marketing, run a Kickstarter, etc. PAY YOUR NARRATORS, ARTISTS, EDITORS!

Seeing folks defend gen AI audiobooks is so gross. So fuck the narrators, huh? Virtual voice is bullshit and yes, you’re part of the problem. I don’t care that you feel entitled to an audiobook. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING. I hate this mindset. Get over yourselves.
