Not surprised, and the explanation is simple: They've been making increasingly user-hostile product decisions. I'd pay good money to neuter her "By the way" and "Did you know" suggestions. Just do what I said and shut up! The advertising is getting worse as well. Feels like you can't play more than 2 or so songs without it trying to sell you other Amazon crap - if anyone can suggest a skill that taps into my local mp3 collection I'm all ears. The anti-user culture comes straight from upper management, with diktats like: "If you have anything you can do that you might be able to directly monetise, you should do it."
