In either case you don't get what you ask for but instead you did get shown some stuff that you can rent or buy. I say ads, you say suggestions. Pretty much the same thing...

Not really. I wasn't Tomāto/tomäto -ing you. I literally had no idea what you were talking about. I don't get ads or suggestions for other videos to rent/buy. I don't use it that way. I don't browse for tv shows/movies with Alexa, so she never gets it "wrong."

Small fortune?? My Harmony Hub cost me way less than my first Echo, but whatever.

Sorry my shrug rubbed you the wrong way, but there's really no need to get pissy, here. I never claimed I was
everybody. I merely stated that I've had no problems getting voice-control working to my satisfaction for what I felt was a reasonable price. Sorry you've had bad luck. But I'm tired of all the negativity and sad-sacking going on in this thread, so you may as well get used to me injecting some "works for me!" occasionally. It only took me one post to find out I wasn't the only one it works for in that regard.
