- rapind 2y agoRoku is pretty much the worst. They started out admirably, but completely sold out and turned into spyware a while ago now.
- m463 2y agoIf that's not enough, I'm sure there will be more desperate software updates...
- manyxcxi 2y agoI know Roku doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record but I’ve owned them relatively trouble free since at least 2010, having refreshed them all once or twice since. Way back when Apple and Amazon were fighting Roku was the only one that had both on it. I prefer all my TVs stay dumb, so I just plug a Roku box or stick into them. No more having to get a new TV because the Netflix app stopped working or whatever. I hate the Amazon Stick UI and don’t want to pay 3x the cost for an Apple box- but I absolutely will eject from Roku completely if they start doing this stuff.
- myvoiceismypass 2y agoThe Roku of 2010 was not primarily deriving its earnings from ads and selling subscriptions to people, though. Apparently just selling devices / licensing an OS was not a growth industry.
