Funnily enough, can't read the article due to a sales ad for the site.

Something ironic about a news site writing news about how terrible ads are while showing you ads and collecting and sharing your information to sell to advertisers to show you more ads.

Wait... you really thought it will be different?

That's why I quit watching TV and will never allow those spies into my home!

Imagine buying hardware so some guy in Seattle can use it as he pleases

Won't ever catch me paying for hardware that sole purpose is to cram as many ADs down your throat as possible

Dawg, it's an Alexa with a screen.
If anything I'm more surprised it wasn't showing ads from day 0.

Alexa, stop the ads.

Or don't, I literally do not care and have never and will never use a product like this, anyway
