It is remarkably nefarious and this is exactly how I read this situation.
I've had an echo ever since I broke my leg, and my husband likes it (this is an ongoing fight ... ) anyway it has once tried to upsell us on news "would you like me to give you the headlines each morning?" I was horrified by this my husband just said no and I think he still doesn't understand why it freaked me out so much.

@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @ClimateJenny@biodiversity.social I think I'd throw it in the trash, husband be damed* if it said anything ... targeted ... eg "this could help with your garden" ... but I also think maybe the hard "no" on the first overture means we won't get more? That is the software will upsell and target more to those who don't get mad at the first few tries? I think showing this to the public clearly would make them much less popular. Everyone hates the targeted grocery prices. *he'd understand
