It would be fine if you willingly buy stuff which shows you ads. But what happens is that you buy stuff without realizing it shows ads, or - even worse - it starts showing ads long after you bought it. Case in point, my echo show first showed ads months after I bought it, but only once every few days. Now, it shows ads almost all the time. I wonder how this is even legal here in Germany.

Did you try running it through a pi-hole?

Why would you accept it? I would return it as defective immediately.

That's the thing, it's legally not broken.

Don't they have grid power where you live?
