I use downpour.com for drm-free audiobooks. They let you straight up download the mb4 files haha it’s awesome.

It’s such a win-win b/c I get to buy audiobooks drm-free and I get to avoid supporting audible which has terrible business practices such as locking authors in exclusive deals.

Also thanks for the ebooks.com recommendation! I was reading this thread specifically to see if anyone knew of a good place online to buy drm-free ebooks :)

Yep, it’s called dwell time and it is 100% one of the metrics used by the algorithms that decide what content to serve up.

Wow good find using the pdf metadata!

Thanks for sharing! I wish they had the date of publishing listed for this article. I get the feeling it was written 15 years ago, well before streaming music services existed. Would love to see them update this based on the latest technologies and services.

Yes, I just finished watching Pantheon and absolutely loved it!

Totally agree that it deserved more attention. At least it got a proper ending with season 2.

Also, the voice acting talent they got was impressive. Paul Dano was fantastic as one of the leads.

Was looking for the Pantheon reference in this thread! Just finished that show and loved it. Of course it takes plenty of liberties for the sake of the storytelling, but still, at least it explores these interesting topics!

Anyone reading this thread, do yourself a favor and check out Pantheon!

Thanks for posting the list!
