I get a lot of people value their privacy and don’t want an Alexa. Here is my stance on it however.

It is free, to use, and can be helpful for people who just want their lives easier and don’t know how to use tech savily. If it’s a higher tier subscription and not just Amazon just suddely making Alexa services as people know it now, not free.

Can you imagine the impact that would have on the elderly and particular,and their trust for tech in general. It’s already hard for them, that would just make it worse. If Amazon did that, doing so would be the dumbest move they could ever do.
