Do you own a Smart Speaker?

This past Christmas my pal Brandon gave me an Alexa smart speaker as a Christmas gift. It is super cool. I mostly play music with mine, 

So do any of your ladies or gentlemen have a smart speaker? 

If yes, do you like it and what do you do with it?

I have one and I distrust it.

I am absolutely not a complot thinker, but I do have the feeling that google may get more personal information from me via the speaker. 

Sometimes my partner and I talk about a product and then a few minutes later we get a pop up add on our phone or laptop with that exact product. It seems to have increased since we have our speaker. 

I am OK with adds after I have searched for a certain item. But not when we have only talked about it privately and then we get an add. This I experience as an invasion of my privacy. 

Yea that would bother me. But since I am single and don't talk to myself, that is not an issue for me.

I just don't have one yet.

It would be nice to have it for music and I don't really have music on my cell phone either.  The only music thing I have is a headset with MP3s on it, and it's supposed to be able to receive FM radio, but it needs a much better antenna. I've tried to improve the reception by attaching metal pieces to the outside but that's very awkward and hasn't been successful yet. It does help if I hold my arms up near it!  It has bluetooth too in case I want to listen silently on the internet.  And I've upped my data plan on my phone so I can listen to it more.
