One one hand, I see why selfishly you would not want to move off your well-established Roku network. However, do you not see that tomorrow Roku could do the same thing to your other "favorite channels" and squeeze them (which based on how they take a cut of subscription fees running through their hardware... not sure why Roku needs those fees.. it all seems like a squeeze) leaving you with a largely useless device that is pay-to-play for companies to run their channels through it?
- LightG 5y agoI'll be honest. It's not clear to me who's doing the squeezing here. All I understand clearly is the end result as a customer. And I'll switch away from Youtube far quicker than I switch away from Roku. To be honest though, it doesn't feel that much of a loss. Youtube TV was always a "handy to have". Youtube feels made for mobile or PC. Again, weird to recognise that relegation in my mind, and just clarifies their weakness on actual TV's. As for your final point. Accepted. If that starts happening, then over the medium term I'll transition to a different solution. But that's then, this is now.
