If you're wondering what the concern is over Audible's new royalty model, here's a good overview (in a nutshell: the royalty _rate_ is higher, but because of the way it's calculated, author _income_ is lower) selfpub.substack.com/p/audiblegate2

🚨 Audible’s New Royalty Model Screws Authors

What looks like a 50% royalty increase is actually a payout cut hidden in fine print.
