Wait I thought Alexa was a way to make money off people by making it easy to order stuff?
and now you can pay for that privilege, along with paying them to harvest your data. I guess the "If its free you are the product" no longer stands
If I remember correctly, that turned out to not work since people apparently don't like ordering via voice interface. Doing it via an app or website tends to be faster and more convenient.
