…and it’s not just entertainment ads either

Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads.

  • Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future.
  • The ads will be interactive and ‘shoppable’ and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars.
  • Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.

    Maybe I’m not using all of Roku’s features but the only ad I see is the one box on the right of the homescreen. To me that’s much less intrusive than the full screen stuff I see on Google TV or Fire Stick.

      Yeah, GTV and Fire Stick have become awful for sure - On the lookout for alternatives to all 3 at this point. I shouldn’t have to run a pihole just to connect to my jellyfin instance.
