Meh, I like her. She plays whatever I ask her to play. And there's at least a dozen other places I can find the news and much of that isn't exactly the truth either.

Why would one want a box that listens to everything that's said in your home or business?
Think about the conversations that are private along with things like passwords, social security numbers and so on.
My home is private, thats why it has doors and windows.
No thanks.
My Alexa must be bored out of her gourd.
You might be surprised at what they can pick up.

My kids, wife and BIL use Alexa for weather and timers and as an alarm clock. Since we have Amazon Music, it's their all request music selection.
You can ask Alexa to play all kinds of stuff from one artist, a genre and so forth.
My wife can just say Alexa, set a wake up call at such and such a time, and can tell it to snooze if she doesn't want to get up right away, with a voice command.
I don't use it much - but my kids are always finding things to do with it. When we first got them, my youngest would peep into big brother's room - when it was dark - and say "Alexa, tell me a SCARY STORY". They also learned it would do all kinds of different sounding farts.

BF uses it for ocean sounds to help him sleep.
COOL! I need that! I am moving it from my office to my room!
Thanks.
Imagine the sound it’ll make if it detects someone getting busy.

I don't need Alexa for that I am a self-taught expert
She completely ignores it. Doesn't even change colors.
Maybe you're quiet.
Heh...no one has ever accused me of that.

I had one I bought in Florida in 2018. Never left the box. I finally donated it last year.
My 1983 Maytag pair has battleship quality electro-mechanical controls.
We paid $1300 for them back then. Each has needed only 1 repair.

Thank you. I'm good. All the sensitive things I say are under the Cone of Silence. BTW you seem nice. Welcome to the forum.

My Amazon Echo device hasn't worked properly in about a year. I believe they have built-in EOL dates kinda like IPhones. After they get old enough, they just won't properly accept updates and it forces you to buy the new model. With mine, it will randomly drop the volume of the alarm so that it is whisper quiet when it goes off. It also will not turn off music when commanded to. I have to unplug it from the wall to get it to shut off. Apparently, this is common among these units.
