Amazon just added notification alerts to Alexa, which is the worst feature ever

Why, Amazon? Why?!

In a move that's sure to destroy your sanity, Amazon is giving Alexa one of the most hated features in the world: notifications.

The company announced Alexa's new Notifications feature on Tuesday, stating that the addition is "a way [for Alexa] to proactively signal new content is available from skills and domains."

Until recently, Alexa couldn't speak or do anything until a user said the wake word. The first big exception to this rule came when Amazon announced a calling and messaging feature for Alexa devices earlier this May.
