And those promotions should be a cost of Amazon, not the authors. Weird how Amazon can take your product, sell it for a quarter of the price, and then claim they now owe you no money.

Audible's whole business model is to sell monthly credits on subscription for $15, which can be used to purchase any audiobook. That's not a "promotion", that's how Audible works.
Now they do also have sales where they sell books for like $5 or something; if those sales are not opt-in, of course that's a problem. But I have a hard time believing they're not opt-in.
Eh, a company should be free to offer any bad deal they can dream up.
If you don't like it, your job is to turn down that offer.

Sure, and disappear, because you're not listed by the bad deal company that has container-ships-of-money for marketing.
