Ugh, if it gets out of hand I hope the FCC/congress step in to ban it like how they require commercials to not be excessively louder than the rest of the program. I can remember how awful and widespread this was in the 90's and the subsequent rise of televisions that have built in volume filters, followed by the actual ban of it a few years ago.
Seems like a very similar sort of abuse, except potentially much more dangerous ("Alexa, order me 500 Shamwow's!"). I doubt a ban would eliminate it, but it'd definitely get rid of most.
