I just made a Kickstarter account, and supported a Kickstarter, and bought an audiobook, and set up a LibroFM account, and installed the app for LibroFM, and now I await the arrival of Cory Doctorow's latest audiobook, "Picks & Shovels: Marty Hench at the Dawn of Enshittification" narrated by Wil Wheaton which I will OWN OUTRIGHT @pluralistic https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/picks-and-shovels-marty-hench-at-the-dawn-of-enshittification?ref=thanks-copy

@pluralistic you inspired my whole ad-free non-tracking website; the least I can do is buy your book. You're the trailblazer and the rest of us are just following you into what I hope will be a far better internet.

@jillrhudy
One of the coolest things about #LibroFM is that you too can help prevent enshittification by downloading your books and listening to them without their app.
On android I really like Voice Audiobook Player (Simple audiobook player)

@ami @jillrhudy @pluralistic I listen to their audiobooks when riding my bike using my *flip phone*.

@ansible42 @ami @pluralistic I gotta love the creativity. I’ve never purchased an audiobook until today because not interested in Audible, so I’ll keep this in mind!
