    This is pure amateur hour. I never felt more personally insulted in my life. And my day is ruined.

    Why not just let me buy a robotic arm for my TV for only $99.99 that swipes my credit card, and steals my money when I go to the loo? And a $19.99 monthly subscription that prevents the built-in flamethrower from torching my house Avatar Roku style. Why half-ass it with commercials, when we can whole-ass it like normal human beings?!

    So what about a live online game when I pull up a map?! Will an ad start playing and I won’t be able to close my map or play my game?! Not ever buying Roku, Roger.

    Unless they make their devices free or dirt cheap, why the hell would someone pay 100’s of $$$ for a tv to be served ads and if you don’t accept the eula you have essentially a paperweight.

    I would buy a new TV immediately if this happened. It’s not like they’re expensive anyways and my Roku is on the older side. Smh

    I am so sick of ads and I typically go out of my way to not buy the said product in ads.

    I’m so glad I trusted my gut feeling when a friend of mine suggested to buy ROKU stock at $400. I told him that ROKU was a dying brand in a world of computer built in smart TVs making ROKU absolutely useless.

    We have two Roku TVs now.

    We will not be buying another after that TOS debacle and now this.

    Guess who’s going to stick to big computer monitor’s with stream-boxes.

    I believe it. They already have the technology to identify content on 3rd party devices and then recommend roku channels to get more of that content.

    I’m convinced ads and commercials are just the way they wash dirty money cuz fuck you they don’t work

    Roku doesnt want my money, got it

    As an advertiser, this is brilliant. As a human trying to love my life, this is fucking nightmare, darkest timeline shit.

    That’s how you get Roku’s ad services blocked on my router. Hell no.

    This should be an absolute no unless these TV’s are free. Roku can fuck off.

    It’s really starting to feel like black mirror was spot on with that one episode in season 1

    Yet one MORE reason to never buy a smart TV.

    Most of the time, when I “pause a game”, I’m looking at a map, a skill tree, or gear. No ads please

    I’m at the point where if I get an ad for something in a format that’s annoying or intrusive I actively do not buy the product or at minimum it causes me to affiliate negativity towards it. These marketers better think a little harder with how these tactics make younger crowds view things.

    Been looking for a good excuse for a new TV anyway so thanks I guess…
