What is happening on audible?
These are all the lesbian books I know of on Audible Plus that I haven't listened to. All but two of them are getting removed. Usually, much like streaming services, books get cycled through the plus catalogue. They'll remove some books, but add others. I've been using audible plus for a year now and am used to how it works.
What I'm seeing now is nothing like it is usually. I don't know how other genres are doing, if this is just a product of them reducing the overall plus catalogue. But the entire lesbian genre is getting gutted. I'm trying to listen to all these titles as fast as I can. Once October 21st comes around, I'll likely end my subscription.
I can't find any information about this online and I can't find anyone else talking about it, except one person who brought up the removal of Jae books specifically.
I obviously can't tell Amazon not to do this. I just want to know that I'm not crazy. What is happening here? Did I miss something? I'm just confused right now.
And yes, my first name is Juliet. I think it's a beautiful name!

I think it’s related to many major audiobook publishers renegotiating their contracts with Audible. I just saw this post in r/audible yesterday and it explains a lot. https://www.reddit.com/r/audible/s/RrqcBV6zsd
