I THINK I read this was only if you opt in to the new AI fed version - but it is the beginning of the end. Like everything else they do - they will not MAKE you take it, but start gradually killing the old one till you have to take the paid version or leave.
Just like MP3's. I don't like streaming music, I always bought all my MP3's from Amazon. Then I bought an Echo to play them on by voice control. Slowly they started killing that because they want to you pay for Amazon Music every month. So now on a Echo that I bought from Amazon playing MP3's I bought from Amazon - I can no longer play them the way I used to (by name or shuffle) because you have to pay for Amazon Music to do that now - even though you already paid for the MP3's from them to begin with.
When they start being pay only for Alexa - which is coming for sure - I will dump it all and be done with Amazon.
