Good luck to them.

Yikes. The cognitive dissonance is palpable.

I didn’t make any non-sequitors…

What makes you think I didn’t open the link?

I’m not seeing where they got the option to opt out and switch back to the tier they were on?

Also how much more is Alexa Plus than the original version users were on?

Got a link? Also how was it presented to shareholders?

When was that? I can’t find anything about it in a search.

They automatically moved customers to a tier that cost them more money than it did for them previously?

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

It costs more? People we being automatically switched to a tier that costs more money?

if Amazon is telling them about different tiers of subscription

Which, as I said, means it all comes out in the wash. If revenue is +100% here and -100% there, it’s 0%. Either they are looking big picture, and that’s what they see, or they’re zoomed in and therefore in a scenario where they would ask the follow up.

They care about revenue going up. It doesn’t go up, unless it does.

Not once you take the pill.

Yeah of course, why not?

Right, but I’m saying the “numbers” aren’t influenced by this.

Right, but again, if they’re that birds-eye-view, then the bump in subs in one spot is negated by the drop in the other and the net result they’re looking at is what they care about.

Then they wouldn’t even be the people getting told this information about subscription numbers, so I’m still not sure how it’s supposed to work

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

Did you link the wrong post?

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

In trouble with investors for tricking them?

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.

Why would it not get asked? It’s the most obvious, logical followup

Maybe, but how do they respond to the followup “Nice! How?”
