Alexa has apparently torched 10 billion dollars (just in 2022!) with nothing to show for positive cash flow. It's a cool gadget but they bet the damn farm on it. Thousands of people working on it over the years, all to just lose billions of dollars.

Alexa is funded by retail’s profits.

alexa seems to be having a hard time making money, you might want to keep your eyes peeled for big changes.

Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10 billion this year[[2022]]

I know an Alexa. She hates it.

Alexa's problem is they can't monetize voice.
