Clearly, the answer is to have Alexa read a random unprompted ad every 5 minutes.


It already does a form of this. You might ask it the time, and it will reply with the time and some ad telling you about other things that it can do.

It’s really annoying.


Agreed, though fortunately it silences quickly upon “Alexa, shut up”


Maybe it could softly whisper it, like a gentle breeze: “buy more shoooes, buy more shoooes”.
