      Something ironic about a news site writing news about how terrible ads are while showing you ads and collecting and sharing your information to sell to advertisers to show you more ads.

    Wait… you really thought it will be different?

    That’s why I quit watching TV and will never allow those spies into my home!

    Dawg, it’s an Alexa with a screen.
    If anything I’m more surprised it wasn’t showing ads from day 0.
