I notice that you specifically mentioned audiobooks, but if you're interested in written ebooks, check out Standard EBooks

They take public domain books and run them through a detailed process of editing and typesetting them to create beautiful versions.

Personally, I'm a big fan of The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain. There is an audiobook version on Librevox too!

I personally don't think that a message like that would make much of a difference because they won't understand the nuances of the situation that's occurring. All they care about is eyeballs on their product, and avoiding association with unsavory things.

Because of that, I would think that a better tactic would be to talk about how you saw their advertisements in a subreddit with inappropriate content and ask if that was intentional. Asking if it was intentional is a good tactic because it turns it from a report into a question. Even better, word it like "Do you have any comment?" as if you're a reporter writing a story. You don't have to say who you're writing "a story" for, you can just say that you're an independent journalist working on a piece and wanted to get a statement on their choice to place advertising on a service that serves their advertisement next to (give some examples)

With that tactic, you can also skip the standard feedback forms and attempt to contact their advertising arm or PR department.

Lots of communities on the federated lemmynsfw.com server

 

I was a big fan of RARBG season packs, but the rarbg site shut down very recently. They had a great balance between visual quality and file size, and they also included subtitles. I also appreciated that they used the x265 format.

Does anyone else have a suggestion for a very active group that releases season packs of current and old TV shows?

I have found a few individuals on 1337x.to that are reliable, like QxR and Vyndros, but I think they are individuals and don't have the quantity of output that the RARBG group had.
