I call absolute bullshit on this. They're losing out on the sale of the device but make up for it 20 fold by selling and manipulating data it collects in your house. This isn't even conspiracy loads of people report Alexa going off randomly without any sort of prompt. Don't tell me the device isn't listening closely to every little conversation you have.
Conspiracy means there are people conspiring meaning it is a conspiracy fact. I mention this coz the next comment says it IS but goes on to back up it is not a conspiracy because wording
Build box with speakers. Place over Alexa. Play Jerry Falwell sermons on the speakers.
