I've been a long term Alexa user and kinda hard to get out of the ecosystem, but it's gone downhill fast in the last few years in terms of the UX.

* It forgets about my configured routine ("good night" -> "turn off all lights", now it would randomly reply "good night" and does nothing).

* It keeps trying to push down other services/products on top with long winded follow up question. There's no way to turn this off

* Keep asking if it's answering from the correct room

* Its ability to understand my command has gone downhill - and I'm just ordering it to turn the lights on and off in certain rooms. Now it keeps saying "cannot find bedroom" for example even though there's clearly a group called "Bedroom" set up in Alexa
