    It’s not surprising. Most of Google’s profiling is though the web. They don’t bother with the speakers and stuff too much because they don’t need to.

    It’s not very useful anyway, any number of people could be using the speaker, regardless of who is signed in

    So even the most sophisticated profiling is wrong a significant part of the time.

    Great. Glad its been so worth it to scoop up all my data and leak it everywhere just to not know how to use it for your stated intended purpose.
