“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.

Google is NOT going to be any better at this

What are you talking about? Google Home devices have been out for like a decade at this point, they don’t play ads on them.

Yet. Google is an ad company that pushes ads nearly everywhere else. Shareholders/Wall St. demand infinitely increasing year over year profitability. It's only a matter of time.

The Alexa division is struggling so they are well into the extract phase of the product.

Google will get there in time as well.
