What is happening with these posts on the Substack app? Barely any have the audio option available. Is this just a problem with me? I am a paid subscriber. I understand some authors on Substack opt to only allow audio for paid subscribers. It’s been happening for a couple of weeks. Sometimes there is the play audio option but not often. How can this be corrected?

As standard for subscribers, the only posts with official Pillar audio are the Friday posts. Other audio for articles is AI generated. JD commented a few days ago on another article that he's trying to turn off the AI audio since they don't want that feature, so I think the Pillar is trying to figure things out.

Yes I listen to the AI daily if available. I can listen to the article but can’t take time to read every article. I hope they turn that back on. Thanks for letting me know. I thought something was wrong on my end.
