    I asked Alexa what the weather was like, and they shoe horned a sponsorship.

        No, it was like “weather is brought to you by.” Can I not remember the rest because I was blinded by rage . I didn’t even hear the weather. It only happened once.

        They caught on to that and now you gotta setup a routine that automatically disables it every 24 hours because it now auto re-enables itself after a while.

          I disabled mine… I don’t know when. Maybe a year ago or so? It’s still off. I get your point but it’s definitely not required. It’s been months and it hasn’t come back on. I don’t think the effort of setting up a routine is worth it (with the current rate it re-enables).
