I'm pretty much over Alexa. I've gotten tired of having Alexa suddenly start talking for no reason. The other day I was off in another room, far from my Dot, and heard a voice--Alexa was chatting. I told her to stop, and she went into a spiel thanking me for chatting, blah blah blah, and it took a second try to make her stop. What set her off? No clue. Maybe the cat meowed at her.
That was the last straw. I was going to unplug her completely, but then I got the idea of using a remote plug I have for Christmas lights. So now I can keep her quiet and off till I actually want her to do something--usually all I ever want is to play music, and it's easy enough to press the remote first. It does take a few moments for Alexa to reset and respond, but it's better than being startled by a disembodied voice at all hours.
