           We suppose eventually there will come a time where companies will start figuring out a way to monetize its services, but for now Amazon Echo/Alex users can rest easy about ads not invading their speakers and devices.

         In this digital day and age, advertising is one of the standard ways that companies can make money, whether it be running a website, operating a YouTube channel, managing an account on Instagram, playing games, and so on. This is why we’re actually surprised to learn that Amazon has actually turned down offers to place ads on Alex, its digital assistant.

    However that isn’t entirely true because one of the ways Amazon is allowing developers to make money through Alex is through “premium skills”, which are subscription-based skills that users can opt-in on. In fact Sony’s Jeopardy game is one of the skills that is taking advantage of this subscription model, although exactly how many users are taking advantage of it remains to be seen.
