Of course there could be more but I don’t see the point of making that assumption or living that way. I’ll just limit my data input in case. While Amazon should be more transparent people still wouldn’t believe them and “if” they are truly only collecting the input I give them then I don’t consider that spying. With that said it’s good to know and each individual can choose if they’re ok with it or not.

I do know that, but collecting data isn't always spying.

People use something out of value and/or convenience. It taking over is just the effect of that. It's capitalism not some underlying motive from the corporation. Of course a business wants their product to succeed.

I know, I'm supposed to be terrified of technology, the internet and big corporate!

Thank you and god forbid someone has a different opinion. There are a lot of assumptions on the internet about what smart speakers are and aren't but this article didn't reveal anything shocking IMO. The writer didn't even seem bothered by all of it. It just came off as a simple observation piece to me.

stats can also just be stats

Then you guys should stop wasting your time.

It gave him back every piece of data he had put into Amazon which was tied to a log in. Where is the spying? He willing did this and the whole piece felt like an observation more than a worry. Just my perception that though.

Me and 34 million other people, thanks for having our backs!

That it’s listening and remembering when I talk to it? That’s not exactly spying on us.

Plenty of other things in my life that require that attention over a video game service.
