  • 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.

Not usually. These people tend to be really stupid. There's a reason why businesses degrees are made fun of so much.

    I mean, do you have any examples of companies trying to pull this? Where they automigrate one base of users to another tier of whatever it may be, and then successfully pretend it was organic growth?

    I've worked in many corporate settings where projects have to show their results and that sort of thing would never make it past the middlest manager.

    This is a good one: https://lemmy.world/post/41564641

    Amazon also got in trouble for auto enrolling people in prime.
