I got rid of my Alexa devices after they would not shut up. "Alexa what is the weather for today?" "The weather for today will be ... By the way, did you know that you can set alarms? Just say ..."

I do not care about whatever stupid feature you want to build engagement around. Do what I asked you to do and then shut up.

And don't get me started on the Alexa Show that had the audacity to display ads.

For all ten people this will help, "Alexa, disable 'by the way'" works wonders.

And for scorched earth, "Alexa, set a reminder for 8 AM to disable 'by the way'" is an option.

I haven't heard a single 'by the way' in many moons.

I threw all my Alexa devices away due to that as well.
