“This is getting ridiculous and I’m about to just toss the whole thing and move back to Google,” one Redditor said of the “full-volume” ads for Alexa+ on their Echo Show.

Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

    Morons buying moronic ‘smart’ devices, unable to understand that they’re the product, not the consumer and they have sold away the rights to their eyes and ears with their purchases.

    My house contains no smart devices that can harvest data from me (my mum does use a samsung smart TV from 2016) and all devices have everything disabled and other things installed to block data collection and tracking… I can’t stop 100% of it, but what little trickle they do get is basically worthless.

    My eyes and ears are not for sale, nor is my privacy.

      Wow, you are soo cool and unique to realize that the consumer is not the customer, noone has ever figured out that before!

      No one asked about the status of smart home devices in your home.

        Wow you are so cool and unique to comment on an opinion.
        No one asked your opinion on people’s opinions.
        At least their comment wasn’t a waste of time and now I’m wasting more time.
