3. Same thing is happening in books

AI slop scammers are uploading AI slop books onto Amazon in crazy numbers. Amazon recently reduced how many books you can upload PER WEEK from 20 to 10. Think about that. Ten books PER WEEK.

Obviously a real writer cannot write 10 books in a week. I write, and I can write 2 novels per year. Only AI slop scammers can upload that fast, and Amazon is doing nothing significant to stop or slow them down.

AI narration is ruining Audible.

You used to be able to find real books in Audible Plus (the free Netflix-plan listen to as much as you want bonus that you get in addition to getting an audiobook credit every month with your Audible membership.) Now, all the real books have been removed except for a tiny fraction of books made by humans. It's all Virtual Voice AI narration books. Audible will not allow authors who made their books with a real narrator to participate in Plus. They are actively suppressing books made with real narrators by real human authors, in order to give AI audiobooks an advantage. It sucks.
