I think the real news here is that 50 million devices number... shopping with Alexa can only go up if you have a device first.

- jerf 8y agoIt says 50 million "users". I'd be curious how that's counted. 50 million dedicated Alexa devices in current use would definitely be something. But I've got 3 non-dedicated devices that I nominally could use Alexa on, but they're all off. Are they counting me as a user, or possibly three users? Because I'm not. (I don't want a voice assistant anyhow, but the devices in question are two tablets and an Android phone with the Amazon shopping app. I'm not sure how "Alexa-y" the latter is, I've never fully experimented with it. Hitting the microphone icon says I can order things.)
