“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.

For me, there's no level of advertisement that is permissible, no matter how seemingly inoffensive the ad may be. It's still an ad.

In my own home on a device I paid for, it's simply not happening.

My tolerance is zero, because I am not willing to accept this ad-saturated society that we have somehow been generationally conditioned into thinking is acceptable.

I still dont understand how people think its fine seeing ads everywhere they look. What is in their minds....

It makes the world ugly. Real ugly.
