What's a good medium to back up to, assuming I don't want to pay for a RAID setup?

No publisher is going to pay a professional to narrate their audiobooks when they can have AI do a shitty job for much less.
A shitty narrator can get me to hate a book I like. A great narrator can bring the characters to life, enhance the experience, and turn me from a listener to a fan. I've searched for books by narrators like Nick Podehl and Jeff Hayes and bought audiobooks I wouldn't have otherwise.
I wouldn't support it even if the author couldn't afford it otherwise. There's no test to confirm that and knowing profit margines, all publishers will use AI for all their books.
Yes, I'd want smaller authors to have people listen to their books, but without oversight, it's going to ruin all audiobooks.
I'm pretty sure our insomniacs still outnumber the Europeans (At least on Lemmy)
Edit: I continued scrolling and maybe not. Keep seeing these things I don't understand. Well played.

Can NYT or someone sue for libel? That's defamation with false information. I'm not looking for a fine, but an order requiring them to say they were wrong and published false information. Then NYT can publish that tweet in their headline.
Also, the newer massive trucks that are so high they blind anyone lower than them regardless of how properly it's configured.
I would stop following the tarrif news if it wasn't the headline on everything. Is anything else going on while he's doing this? Did he overthrow the judicial system or something?
There's a ton of issues with time travel. That could be one, but most fictional time-travel devices can be said to accommodate for the difference in distance. It would just be boring to explain on-screen.
Non-democratic/psudo-democratic socialism/communism: "You're paying for this service whether you want it or not. There is no motivation to make a quality product."
Democratic socialism/communism: "Well, only 60% of you care about this enough to vote. We'll put some funds into it, but definitely not what it needs. And oh dang, everyone hates it now, guess we'll defund it."
Edit: I'm not disagreeing with OP. Capitalism sucks too. Socialism and Communism *can* suck. It depends on the governing body. There are good examples of all three economic systems working and bad examples of all three screwing people over. I'm anarchist and believe good systems will eventually fall to corrupt politicians if safeguards are not in place to prevent it, and there's a bunch of sneaky intentional and unintentional loopholes to sneak in power grabs.
