Of course they are. It’s all about monetization. I’ve been known to amuse myself online by visiting wacky sites just to see what sort of crap Google AdSense will place ostensibly to advertise to me. Pretty comical actually, but if anyone is keeping a “dossier” of my online behavior they’re going to think I’m one strange duck, lol.

“Alexa. Whats the number of the nearest priest dealing with demonic possession?”
It is the same number as the local Home Depot. The priest lives in the hardware aisle, and looks suspiciously like a sledgehammer.

” ... don’t ask her to”
Alexa is not a she. It is a device with a computer program, and simulated voice. It is an IT.
Naming it Alexa does not make it a she. I get very annoyed at weather readers who refer to hurricanes as SHE because someone has decided to use a female name for a big wind.

It may be spying on me but it plays music. I’ll relinquish all my rights from some light jazz.

a couple of years ago I purchased a bottom of the line Fire (on sale) because I wanted to try out a piece of ham software on it. It seemed that the device was just a platform for advertisements. Did my test and scrapped the thing.
I can’t see any reason for purchasing something like the Echo.

Only idiots would have such a device in their homes.
I’m an avowed technophile, and any such technology will enter my home over my dead body.

Female name for big wind. Good comment. Brings to mind the ten recorded Hurricane Hillarys in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
