Hmm, it seems twitter:image and og:image are now https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a4d16d_faa91d4b4ee54bb5ba... , but Twitter aggressively caches (saves?) that preview image.

From the linked post:

“If you’ve ever looked at the Audible ACX contract, you’ve seen the complicated sales earnings math (another future post). For now, let’s focus only on the result: the amount of money which ends up in our bank”

I personally feel like I need to see the math in order to understand what is actually going on

I think this thread is excessively vague and potentially taking advantage of ignorance on how precisely audible is shady. It seems to assume the royalty statements should come out of list price, but in actuality audible has multiple list prices- is it cash or credit? is it regular or premium subscription? These all are quite different and pay out differently. If it is such that audible is paying 40% less than it should based on its own price tiers though that's a whole other story and worth massive lawsuit money.
