Not sure how you monetize "Alexa, set a timer for 10 minutes."

That's pretty much all we use it for.

I asked Alexa what the weather was like, and they shoe horned a sponsorship.

Was it by the way? Say "Alexa, turn off 'by the way'."

No, it was like "weather is brought to you by." Can I not remember the rest because I was blinded by rage . I didn't even hear the weather. It only happened once.
