So th same as Amazon and Google and everybody out there
To be clear, all Roku has done file a patent last August regarding a methods of ad delivery that would inject ads over paused content on HDMI inputs. Anyone who has followed any tech for any amount of time knows that patents are filled all the time without any plans or timeline for implementation.

But that didn't stop a few tech journalists from writing some sensationally clickbaity articles that resulted in the knee-jerk pearl-clutching seen above.

Would ads like that suck? Probably. Should you preemptively ditch Roku? Probably not, because if you did that based on every patent filing that might be considered "user-hostile", you would quickly run out of devices and platforms to use.
I like that the Roku search shows many different services in the results. Other companies limit it to themselves.
Free Roku channel free videos have the least ads too, usually 3-4x less minutes than the multiple others that offer the same free show

Example if I accidentally pick a freevee offering from prime. First 1:30 commercial break and realize my mistake. Load same video on Roku channel for 15-30 second ads.

Quote from mitchflorida :
When you compare the Roku Channel to Pluto, Tubi or Xumo, Roku actually has fewer ads than the others. As for channels that you have to pay for, I don't think Roku is allowed to put ads on those channels.

I don't know about the rest of you guys but the ads are so short on my Roku TV I barely have enough time to use the bathroom or grab a cold beer.. I don't mind ads as long as they're 60 seconds or less. I tried Tubi for the first time last night and they even give you a little notice at the top of the screen that are not just going to come on! I appreciate that

I have a ROKU TCL tv works well but I hope they don't do an "update" and try to sneak that in.... but Im guessing they might..... It would defintely prevent me from getting another ROKU based tv.....
only the new ones have it I think, and they might have stopped it, but the fact that they were about to go through with it for newer TVs was insane. took a huge amount of backlash to stop, and even then they were considering to continue anyway

Much better to order from, watch on ROKU.
From Amazon on Roku it takes 4 or 5 clicks to get to the streaming channel homepage. add more clicks if you misclick during the annoying clicking. may have to start over with the clicking. Click. ClickClick.

Roku takes 1 or 2 clicks.

The Beekeeper on MGM+ . It about a 55 year old short bald guy that beats up 100 Armed bad guys with his bare hands.

I hear it's based on a true story.
The content available on MGM+ is somewhat limited but it is way cheaper than Amazon Prime or Hulu. You get all the new MGM stuff plus most Paramount movies. MGM+ also has American Fiction which is another good movie.

Roku is by far the best. Those complaining about ads have clearly never monitored their network traffic with a Fire TV device or anything from Google is connected.

Yea, went with cinemax. 30 minutes later i canceled.
in 5 minutes found out nothing i really wanted to watch.
there were some movies i would have watched (for the 1 millionth time), james bond movies, but they were not 4k.

I looked at the other movie channel selections that had discounts,
i looked at their channel icons, they have a tiny image of one of their movies. ya ,naw, nope.
