“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.
Personally, I disagree with the first and agree with the latter. I have a Nest Hub, and there are no ads on that. But I would still urge the redditor and myself to get acquainted with Home Assistant instead of bothering with the offerings from Google and Amazon.
Agreed. Amazon is a sales company. Google is a data company. Open Home Foundation is a better company.
It’s not even personal opinion, it’s objective fact…
Amazon shoves ads on everyone of their products far and above any competitors.
Yeah but not Google. Just get Chinese, they won’t be able to do anything to you even if info is collected
Or just don’t buy products from companies that don’t respect you…
Buying chinese is like going to the guy who beats you less because he spending half the time at his other girlfriend’s house.
All companies resell from china, just with added tracking. Avoid ads and added tracking by buying direct
There are better options.
Like what?
Don’t buy it… These trash devices are absolutely a discretionary spend
I don’t. Never used it In my life.
I even switched my android TV to alternative launcher because I don’t want Google peddling shit
What launcher?
You mean besides sell it to American companies? Or insert whatever country you’re afraid of currently
Not afraid of any country just our own gov
