Shane Mason and John Owens cover FTX updates, BlockFi's bankruptcy, subscriptions to drive your car faster, the Amazon Alexa dumpster fire, and more data for Facebook/Meta. Guard yourselves, dear listeners! Major tax-filing websites are sharing your income data with Meta, says Ars Technica. Alexa is costing Amazon wayyy more money than it's making--to the tune of $10 billion. And Mercedes-Benz is going the way of Peloton by charging a subscription fee to unlock one additional second of acceleration. Stay warm, happy December, and drive responsibly!
