She's calling out readers being elitist but she's just as unconsciously elitist herself, without realising it.
Listening to an audiobook is listening, not reading, they aren't opposed in any way, they're just different.

What is the crazy broad even trying to say? When you are looking at symbols on a piece of paper and converting them into information, your brain is actively filling in the blanks and vividly recreating what the author is trying to express. Listening to audiobooks is the equivalent of skimming, you are just getting a general understanding of what is going on. This is why she can't read dense literature. This is why she can't read accents. Her brain has literally atrophied.

I have never listened to an audiobook in my life. We are not children who need a beditme story before going to bed; if you are listening to a book, it must be a shit book, otherwise you would not be able to parse it aurally, or at least parse it properly. The written text is supposed to be much denser than the spoken word — that is in fact the whole point of it — because the author has all the time in the world to build it carefully and pack it with meaning. You are supposed to read, stop, go back, stop, think, take notes even, etc. when reading a book that challenges you — and you should ONLY read books that challenge you, of course. Audiobooks are for morons, like podcasts, or YouTube vlogs, etc. If you touch that stuff at all I guarantee you that you are 100% subhuman. I would rather never read a word again than touch that shit, and in the one or two occasions that I have SKIMMED it in my entire life, or experimented with it in any way, I only did it to investigate the latest mindless fads subhumans have invented to waste their pathetic lives.

Audiobooks are fine
But anyone who says they're superior to reading books is retarded. Reading helps with spelling, vocabulary, and overall comprehension, while also making you think about the story/content of the actual book.

Listening to only gives you the story, and that's it. So that's spelling and reading comprehension gone. I guess with vocabulary you can learn by hearing, however I'd still argue you don't learn it as well as reading.

Audiobooks are fine if you consume books in the same fashion that you consume TV shows or movies, mindlessly without any real conscious thought, just like eating potato chips, one after the other.
If you truly wish to digest a book, you must read it more than once, and within any given reading you will read many individual sections multiple times.
This isn't to say that every book should be read so closely, but if you're reading something more substantive than YA fare, audiobooks are more trouble than they're worth.

Not that guy, but he's not wrong. While listening to audiobooks can be incredibly valuable to people who work occupations where it isn't exactly feasible to actually get conventional reading done, it isn't reading. I don't say that with any kind of moral condescension because I'd say it is definitely better to consume literature and interact with the ideas in some form or another than not to, but it isn't "reading". There's absolutely nothing wrong with you listening to audiobooks while driving your truck and in fact if I were in your position I'd be doing basically the exact same thing, but unless you're literally following along with the book and able to retain your place in the story separated by days on end like a book, I'd say it probably doesn't quite count the same way.
Ironically enough, the job I found myself doing the most reading was when I was driving a box truck (not quite the full 53's but I would drive smaller ones up to 32' splits) because for that job I wasn't required to unload the truck when I was at Union loading docks. Basically I would listen to a podcast or something like that while driving there (primarily within 2-3 States of where I lived, not cross country or anything) and once I was at the dock, I'd tell them what to unload, make sure they didn't break anything, and then hang out in the cabin and read until the show was over and it was time to load out and go home.

I mean, if you only read YA, yeah, audibooks aren't cheating because YA is the literary equivalent of a Netflix show you binge-watch.

Also, however wrong or right she may be she said that
>audiobooks aren't Reading
and
>audiobooks are cheating
are the same argument.
You can defend that audiobooks aren't cheating but you can't say that listening to an audiobook is Reading.

What exactly do you not get when listening? Reading is just listening to your own voice, the information stays the same, I would actually go as far as to say that listening+ reading and writing is more beneficial than just reading and writing.

They're fine if you just want the information and don't care about the act of actually reading a book. although, one big issue with audiobooks that I have is that it recontextualizes it by giving it a definitive voice. For example: "A screaming comes across the sky" doesn't have the same impact in audio form because of the narrators sleepy delivery.

I mainly listen to audiobooks these days due to limitations on my time, namely work. The main difficulty is that your attention can fade in and out or you might find yourself reflecting on a passage you've just listened to, but the narrator keeps pushing along, so you end up missing bits and pieces. It's also impossible to take notes as you listen, if you're driving. My solution is to listen to the same book twice in a row.

What's with all these limp-wristed losers claiming you can't get the same understanding out of listening to something over reading it? What, is it that hard to pay attention to someone talking? Is your ADHD that bad? You know you can pause or rewind an audio book if you want to reflect on a passage, right?
It's really not that hard. You guys acting like the needless extra work you all seem to have to put in (like that lad who said he has to take notes) to remember or understand a book is just proving Socrates right
