Audible experiments with introducing ads into its audiobook service

The ads are displayed while listening to conventional audiobooks, podcasts, and Audible original content. Audible states that the providers were informed about the change and were given the option to opt-out of displaying ads. The company also notes that a maximum of eight ads will play within a 24-hour period, irrespective of the content being played. While not alarming, this could establish a worrisome trend for several consumers who are averse to ads.
