I still don't understand why they axed Alexa. It doesn't make any sense to me in the context of the rest of their business.

Alexa was described as "a colossal failure" which lost 10 billion dollars last year alone.

I don't really understand how that division could rack up $10 billion in losses in a single year either.

Because it’s an embarrassing product and Jassy doesn’t love it like Bezos.
