“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.
My pet pony keeps shitting on the floor.
I am very frustrated and did not expect it.
I should sell it off and buy a horse instead.
Ponies are supposed to shit. It’s more like if the pony came strapped with ill-fitting saddlebags that leak toxic chemicals.
Yeah that was kinda my point :) A cloud controlled device from a tech giant is supposed to
shit on the floorstart doing ads and invade your privacy. It’s what they do. Like ponies pooping, you should expect it on purchase.
Installing spyware and wire taps in my home was never appealing to me.
AND not even being paid for doing so. But paying for instead. that’s the most bizarre part of it.
“Honey, you know what would really tie this room together? A giant electronic advertising billboard!”
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.
Seriously 😒
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.
Why would you buy that. Ten years ago I had an Amazon phone and it would fill my home screen with ads. I guess if you hadn’t experienced that scenario but otherwise why would you pay for that. Besides the ads fuck Amazon why give them any money. Go to Newegg, Walmart anywhere else
