Please, please don't waste your money

You know you're in for a bad time when the moment your initial payment has gone through, they're immediately trying to upsell you on unlocking additional content - having made absolutely no mention prior to this point, of course, that your subscription wouldn't get you everything.Then you get in, and have to laugh at just *how* bad we're talking. Let me give you some of the highlights.- There's a search capability - you can search by category or by typing a search term. There are - get this - significantly more categories in their search form than there are stories on the site. And since most stories are in the same handful of categories, the vast majority of categories return no results. Oh, I'm sorry: "Stories by your criteria are being made", followed by unrelated results. I've yet to find a typed search term that found anything. - The sign-up process involves a quiz on your preferences, to give you the idea that there's so much content they need to filter it to what you're interested in. Good joke. Most of the preferences you could have expressed have *zero* matching content. - The sum total of content here is one second-person dramatic monologue, one full audiobook, and forty-odd short stories narrated by a mixture of humans and AI. Other than the book, you could listen to the entire catalogue in a single day, if you could stand the monotony.- Some of the stories are not only clearly AI-narrated, but pieced together by someone too stingy to even pay for AI narration - they change AI voice at various points, presumably when someone hit the limit of one service's free tier and switched to the next. One of them changed voice every four minutes like clockwork - I laughed out loud when it switched from an American to a British accent like that would somehow go unnoticed.- There's the traditional social-media-esque "like" button, with the count underneath of how many other people liked it. These range from about 700K to 3.1M. Given that not everyone will like everything and most people won't press the like button at all, this would imply that Whisper has an eight-figure number of users. Damn, guys, how come you're not on the NYSE with your hundreds of millions in annual revenue? Or maybe you overestimated our gullibility when you were generating these random numbers? 😆I'm sad to say that this has knocked my confidence in Trustpilot itself a bit - given that all the 5-star reviews here are clearly fake, I had hoped Trustpilot would do a better job of weeding those out.
