it would be silly not to have a subscription option to tell the weather, turn on lights and play their music program. - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 05:51 6
- Just give me the music and grocery list portion, and I'll be happy. -- nm - Inigo May 23, 05:55 1
  - that'll be $24.99 a month and we get to record every sound we hear and we own it -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 23, 05:58
- 90% of my Alexa interactions are asking for the weather, asking it to play a radio station, and telling it to shut the hell up. -- nm - Masked Baron May 23, 05:53 3
  - me too. I am not paying for that very small interaction that I can easily do on my phone -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 06:35
  - For me it's the home automation triggers (lights, etc.) That would be super annoying to both lose and think to have to pay for -- nm - oblique May 23, 05:56 1
    - I think there are a ton of people who really get a lot of use from it for the reasons you mentioned. Tech Nerds. ha -- nm - Pippy Blue Sky May 23, 06:35
