Wild how stuff turned to shit. You spent thousands of dollars/euros on a television, just to be sold out to advertisers. They literally say that they "own" you. No exceptions, including Apple with their ads now.
Rokus makes 85% of their income from advertising rather than hardware.
If you don’t paymfor the product, you are the product is pretty outdated. You pay but still remain the product.

@EricAlper Yes, this is old.
However:
It did not have in-app purchases.
Oh, it didn't come with #ads.
It had no direct or indirect #expiration date where it stopped working altogether.
It continued working even when its original #manufacturer went out of business.
You really owned it.
It had no dependency to the #cloud.
There were no features that stopped working because of some remote marketing guy decided so.
It didn't contain call-back routines to the manufacturer.
It did not listen to its surrounding and generate #voiceprofiles for all people you meet.
It didn't spy on its buyers and sell those voice profiles an other very personal #data to #brokers which resell to #insurances, #advertisement companies and worse.
You could actually go to any electronic shop to get it repaired.
It was not overpriced.
It just played #music. It was perfect.
