  • 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.

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

    The share price might change, as that's largely based on feelings instead of facts. Sure they didn't sell as well, but they presented numbers that look better (even if they aren't) so line go up.

    Why would the share price change.

    Because Microsoft presented numbers that chuds think sound good, so they will want to buy their shares, pushing the share price up. The people who own shares but know the numbers are fud will shut up because idiots are buying their shares at a premium. The people without shares who know better won't buy shares, which doesn't affect the price, and Microsoft just replies nothing to their questions.

    At a shareholders meeting/end of year report/etc... Does matter as long as it goes public.

    Okay, which is where they will either follow up, or just see combined metrics

    I just explained that the shareholders wouldn't do that, because that only risks the shareprice going down, which is against their interests.
