You need to be aware that it’s about being chosen.
People are pickier than ever. We’re spoiled because there is so much content to choose from. Which is why we only spend time consuming content we feel connected to.
If you are a content creator or advertiser, you need to be aware that it’s about being chosen. People decide quickly whether they’re interested or not. If not, they’re likely to move on quicker which suggests the false idea that attention spans are shrinking.

Often UX begins each morning. “Hey Google, good morning.” A single phrase like this allows you to trigger a sequence of multiple actions, aka a routine. At first, people try-out ready-made routines that are available on Google Assistant & Amazon Alexa.
I think BBC inspires producing its own in-house voice assistant called Beeb. They removed their podcasts from certain Google products, and their radio stations are also disappearing from TuneIn. They must have realized that they were becoming one of many vying to sell their content
