Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.
Personally, I disagree with the first and agree with the latter. I have a Nest Hub, and there are no ads on that. But I would still urge the redditor and myself to get acquainted with Home Assistant instead of bothering with the offerings from Google and Amazon.

Yeah but not Google. Just get Chinese, they won’t be able to do anything to you even if info is collected

Or just don’t buy products from companies that don’t respect you…
Buying chinese is like going to the guy who beats you less because he spending half the time at his other girlfriend’s house.

All companies resell from china, just with added tracking. Avoid ads and added tracking by buying direct

It’s not even personal opinion, it’s objective fact…
Amazon shoves ads on everyone of their products far and above any competitors.
