Marketing surveillance devices as desirable consumer products (like Alexa) is something that I reluctantly have to give capitalism props for. I mean, they haven’t just gotten people to accept bugging their own home, but they got people to pay for it as well! Yeah, it’s shitty, but it’s been done well.
This is why I leave my Alexa on the back of my toilet. I don't talk in the bathroom and all I get is personalized ads for bidets and toilet paper.
