They frame it as though it's for user content, more likely it's to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.

Great! I can't wait some assholes telling that this is progress and if you don't like it go fuck yourself

Yeah I mean that's what happens when a new innovation threatens to replace (or reduce/minimize) peoples' jobs. Especially in a society where your job equals your ability to survive & live, people do NOT like getting their jobs "taken away" from them.

This is the perfect situation in which consumers could just stop buying audiobooks from them and the problem would be solved, but noooo. Most people will prefer living with this shit because they cannot stop using Spotify. Great! I love humanity's awesome hability to consume crap from everyhere and everyone and still be grateful for that

Well that's what happens when investors make techbros defacto kings.

If you're pissed about it, blame capitalism.

I prefer blaming most of humanity which is not capable of having a minimal critical though

That's only because we have to pretend that humans are inherently rational.
