    There is literally zero shame in someone consuming audiobooks, and it’s deeply weird to act like something is lost to you if others enjoy them. And this is coming from someone who virtually never listens to audiobooks.

      I never said there was. I offered an alternative. . Outrage is misdirected and it’s by design. There are constructive ways to direct it

        Reading is not an alternative to listening. Both have different use cases. You cannot read while driving, to name just one.

        “Maybe we’ll start reading again” obviously implies that something is lacking presently and that with luck, we’ll go back to the way things were

        Not sure if you’re saying I’m outraged but I promise you I’m not, just thought it was lame to try and imply audiobook enjoyers were somehow less than because of how they prefer to enjoy stories
