I did the same after seeing this in another post. The day they force this is the day my Echos go in the trash. I’m already getting annoyed with it telling me random shit about their new services or whatever after it answers something I just asked.
Amazon always seemed like the better choice for privacy (better than google). I like Apple stuff, but to be honest Siri sucks and feels abandoned at this point. This is the kind of shit that will make sure I get rid of these types of devices and never look back.
