I stopped using Alexa long ago. Here are 6 ways Alexa could lure me back

Writing about smart home technology, smart devices, and voice assistants is my job. Yet, I don't remember the last time I actually spoke with Alexa. Just to be clear, I don't mean to pick on Alexa per se. I rarely speak to Google Assistant or Apple's Siri, either. It's way easier to haul out my phone and use an app than it is to get a supposedly "smart" voice assistant to do what I want.
