What happened
The whole echo platform has lost Amazon $10billion this year alone. They are cutting employees from the company who work the division and echo users are noticing the platform being way less reliable since.

I have not noticed any change in reliability.

I cant imagine the echo platform is intended to generate income? How would it? I have never used any of the devices to do anything other than control devices or play music.
Its obviously a data collection device from their end

Every tech company is cutting right now. Not sure if that alone is a sign the platform is on its way out. 80million users is no small feat. That's a very large user base.

*Either because it's reserve capacity in storage for when other hardware goes down or when demand spikes (Black Friday has entered the chat), or it's as-of-yet unsold capacity that's been built out awaiting new customers for their cloud services.
Sorry.

That said, battery life SUCKS. 2 hours of phone or BT audio. I can get through most a whole day if I just use it for voice commands.
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm ordering a second pair, so I can have one charged while wearing the other.
