>I've always noticed that Audible has been a bit of a scam
You and I have had very different experiences. Someone has been dying to juice the subscriber stats and every year or two, Audible throws me a sweetheart deal too good to refuse.
This year, they offered me three free months to rejoin. Took my three books and canceled, not paying anything. A month or two later, they offered me a $20 credit + three months at a reduced rate of $5(? Maybe it was $10). Fully intend to cancel subscription when that completes end of January. Netting me ~7 books for maybe a one month of out of pocket subscription.
A while back I realized I bought a series I didn't really like after the first book, but forgot about. Audible exchanged each book for a credit no questions asked (even the first one that I did listen to!) That plus the constant credit deals and audiobooks for $5 or less... I don't see how they do it.
