• Alexa users who are Amazon Prime members are reportedly being automatically upgraded to Alexa Plus.
  • Users who have been upgraded can revert to the old Alexa by saying, “Alexa, exit Alexa Plus.”
  • One user claims that they were “flooded with ads” after downgrading back to Alexa.

    They probably need to show investors that the money spent developing it is worth it. “We’ve added X amount of users this quarter alone!”

        That’s probably not a question that’ll get asked, unfortunately. What will get asked is why those numbers dropped off abruptly the next quarter.

          • As a shareholder, you are financially incentivised to not question narratives the company presents if they supposedly present the company in a good light.

            Suppose you do ask, the narrative unravels and the share price tanks. Congrats, you’ve just lost a buttload of money. Why would you do that?

            No, best option is to applaud loudly, tout it in the press and watch useful idiots buy your shares at inflated prices.

            The people who do ask the questions are the people the company doesn’t feel obliged to answer.

              That doesn’t make any sense. Nothing unravels, numbers moved from one chart to another. The big number didn’t actually change.
