Many Echo Show owners have been frustrated for some time by unremovable ads on their devices. Ads suddenly appear between calendar, time, and family photos, sometimes in full-screen format. Amazon seems to be testing how far users will tolerate these measures. Now, the ads are even reaching pure Echo audio models. Alexa is Amazon's intelligent voice assistant, primarily used on Echo models. In addition to the various Echo Shows with displays, there are also Echos that function solely as speakers.

YouTube has further strengthened its defenses against ad blockers, leading to increased frustration among free users who are unable to watch videos without encountering ads.
