I say this as someone who has been using Alexa devices since 2014, and having these devices all over my house. I have at least one of every kind of Alexa audio device (except Auto) and several Echo Show 8s.

I will never buy another Echo Show. They were already annoying enough with "Things to Try" that not only appear on the home screen, but within other apps and skills. Having heard many complaints about "Things to Try", Amazon has doubled down and gone full screen with it as "Alexa for Your Day" with multiple "Things to Try" instead of what you have configured in your home screen preference. So now when I go to look at my Echo Show 8 for the clock and a family photo, I instead see an ad telling me to "Try xyz on Prime Video!", etc.

No, there is no way to turn either off. Turning off home screen rotation doesn't do it. There is a entry under settings for "Things to Try" but it doesn't actually have a setting there. It just shows you more "Things to Try". There is a "Discover" setting under Home Content which does not suppress either when turned off. Setting "Do Not Disturb" seems to make it go away for a day or two but it comes back. Restoring factory defaults makes it go away only until it does a firmware upgrade.

Can these devices be sideloaded like a firestick? Just curious as it would be of a great more value to me if that was possible.

Doesn't really bother me. The screen rotation has actually improved recently with hourly weather on a far right panel and my next sports teams schedule on the right panel, while the main section has current/previous score and current weather. My clock and weather are always on the screen regardless of what the main image is. I have have used Alexa since the beta Echo, and currently have 8 or so of the Alexa screen devices, and 8 of the Google home Hubs/Max. Both have their pros and cons, but the Alexa Show 10's sound the best for music. The 8's sound great as well. Google Home Max is beautiful for a digital photo frame.

I moved on to all screens except for the two Echo autos we have.

Does the Echo Show 5 exhibit this same behavior??? I just picked up two on clearance but haven't opened them yet.

My current experience is only with the 8. I did buy a 5 when they first came out and it definitely had Things to Try. I ended up returning it, so can only guess as to current behaviour.

I also cannot speak for the Echo 10 necessarily. It sounds like from @dealhunter85 that it has a paneled home screen that the 8 does not have.

Exactly this. It has this beautiful screen but the moment you try doing any customization wants to make it display something that you are actually interested in, you will be pulling your hair out. Slightly more than useless, but just slightly.

"Doesn't actually have a setting there".

I don't own an echo show, but Alexa app on my phone has this setting "Alexa Device Notifications" "Receive notifications on your Alexa device with new things to try" with a toggle off option. I'm guessing you tried this and no go?

In the Alexa app, go to More, then Settings, then Notifications and tap Things to Try. Turn both of those toggles off.

Apparently been there done that with no joy. Both items (Phone and Alexa Device) toggles under Things to Try in the Alexa app were already off.

Ah, sorry, I was hoping somehow this would work for you and you'd be forever in debt to me. No such luck I guess

I just gave in and bought the 15 inch portal plus. I have to say thay i like it better than echo. I have hadeach generation of echo devices and the portal plus hardware is much better. I love that it doesnt have any ads. Its doesnt keep suggesting skills like echo. Yes, it is facebook owned and if you dont feel comfortable with facebooks privacy policy then dont get it. It has zoom, cisco webex, workplace, whats app. Plex app was a surprise. It can also do spotify and tidal. I believe you can use netflix and amazon video using the built in browser. It uses the chrome browser unlike silk on echo devices. It has alexa built in. It can control your smart home. Yes, you can view your cams and doorbell. It can do announcements as well. The only thing it cant do is drop in, but it has facebooks messenger which is IMHO is better then alexa calling. Built in camera is top notch.
