15 hours/month is… pretty awful. An avid reader (or listener, in this case) will chew through that in no time at all. Another thing that concerns me is payouts. Spotify is notorious for having atrocious payouts to creators. I wonder how this carries over to their audiobook offerings.
Yeah when I’m driving a lot for work I could burn through that in 2 days…and not even be able to finish out the second day before I have to change to something else 😂
Another reason to make me glad I setup audiobookshelf.

Technically not free if you have to have a paid sub in order to access them. In that case it’s a paid trial with the opportunity to pay even more. Which sounds even worse for Spotify.

For anyone interested in this news, don’t forget to check out your local library. If you’re in the US there’s a good chance that your library card will also give you access to online audiobooks for free!
^ The Libby app works great for audiobooks, too!
My library also supports Hoopla, which is a limited number of borrows per month, with instant availability. The catalogue is probably lesser, but it’s different so adds options.
Spotify Premium pays Joe Rogan.
