Indeed. I had planned to purchase a few Roku devices for me and someone else. Then I stumbled upon an article describing the amount of third party data sharing and how it varies by channel. Stopped me from purchasing. And this is after a bit of research on streaming devices and plans and all that!
People in one of the online neighbor groups routinely ask about options for this channel or that channel and such as the lineup out here with some services seems to change regularly and lots of people are moving.. invariably someone squeeks about how great their Roku device is...
I ask them how they like the device sharing info about what is being watched and when with multiple third parties, If they knew that before purchasing, and if they tell other people who use it... every time the answer has been 'this is the first I've heard of this"
