I paid $200 (although much cheaper now) for my echo years ago. This isn’t a free device and the services it provides cost me actual money to be able to use. Pretty funny to spin this as “you paid $200 for this device, but all the services on it are free.”

Do you think it's stealing your power too?

I don’t think that’s relevant as I spend power to make this tool operational. I still paid for the tool. It wasn’t free.

I also provide shelter, insurance, cleaning, etc.

I was commenting on how GP called the functions of the Echo “free” when they are certainly not free.
