“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 floor~~ start doing ads and invade your privacy. It's what they do. Like ponies pooping, you should expect it on purchase.

Yeah, but it's like you bought the ponies at Shit-R-Us
