Is echo a profitable business unit for Amazon?
I don't know a single person in my extended network, ranging from elderly family members to colleagues and tech professionals, to my teenage sister's cohort, who considers it anything but an obnoxious idea. I've actually made a point to try and ask people I know about it without sharing my opinions with them first, because I earnestly want to understand if people want these kinds of devices in their homes.
Though the sample of my connections is small (N ~ 75 people), it is fairly diverse and randomized across age, income level, education, tech proficiency, and world-wide geographic location, and it has seriously been a completely uniform, 100% rate of negative opinion regarding the idea of Echo.
I'd like to see more official numbers though, to better understand where the demand does come from for it.
