>Normally, Google’s smart home speaker would recite what’s on your calendar, whether there’s traffic on your commute, and what the weather is like. But several users have noted the device is also playing audio ads for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which hits theaters this Friday.
>Twitter user Bryson Meunier recorded video of the audio in action. If you were wondering how Google might monetize Home, this could be your answer. Apparently, the same audio is played through Google Assistant on Android. It seems wherever you go, Google’s ads will find you.

Someone tell these people that speakers work as microphones as well
Connor Hernandez
At least the CIA bugs in your home don't play ads for you
Caleb Walker
Your computer has speakers and is always connected to the internet, no?
Henry Powell
? These already have always on microphones. How else would "Ok Google" work?
Julian Baker
I'm safe if I use headphones, r-right?

I figured they would do something like this. Where Amazon makes money off the echo by getting you to buy more things through Amazon, Google would probably sell ads through it.

Why are people willingly putting surveilance devices in their homes

>buying a personal botnet from an ad company >surprised it's used for playing ads If you were stupid enough for falling for this meme you deserve all the fucking ads.
Juan Gutierrez
> Google provided a statement to The Verge about the audio, saying it isn’t an ad. “This isn’t an ad; the beauty in the Assistant is that it invites our partners to be our guest and share their tales.” Most people would agree that, yes, it’s an ad after.
