@paul-nebeling yeah, I mainly had audible on the mind when thinking of the monthly credit stuff, they have a system that only charges you once every 2 month for your credit. While you do make a valid point in just downgrading, I actually don't actually utilize the ongoing translation stuff, so at that point I would probably just unsub completely.
I'm basically just subbing just to get a bit of money off each LN purchase with no drm at this point, which I guess would be more of a byproduct than their sole intention. So I guess I'll just buy the volumes once they're done and at my own pace. Seems like I just imprinted audible's system and transferred my habits without even thinking about it.
It still might be worth mentioning out loud anyways, even if it's a bit convoluted. Data from a dummy is still data in the end, lol. And it's not like I'm complaining either, it was just one of those "oh, why don't they do-yaddayadda" things and then the answer is just "oh well, credits is just a perk, ongoing translations is the business" which totally flew over my head for a hot minute. But yeah, thank you and @paulnamida for the reply.
