      They sell their TVs at a loss because they anticipate making money back via advertising, so don’t feel bad about buying a cheap 4k TV. It literally costs them money!*

      *As long as you don’t connect it to the internet for some dumb reason

      Yeah that’s best case scenario at this point. But after they forced users to agree to a new agreement with their remote control or no longer be able to use their Roku/TV I sort of doubt they have our best interests in mind.

    Have to squeeze every possible fraction of a cent of potential revenue out. How else are you supposed to maintain infinite growth?

    I honestly thought that not many people really cared for Roku anyway. I’ve never a Roku device and never will now.

    This wouldn’t fit with the gdpr, right?

    Or maybe it’s completely unrelated idk
