Home screen ads driving away this long time user.
I've been a Roku user since all the way back in. 2010 or so with a first gen XD/s that's could pretty much only access Netflix over analog.
I have never been shy about telling people to choose the Roku over other streaming devices and I'm currently using four different devices in my house, from a simple Roku TV to a Roku ultra in the TV room.
No more.
If these full screen ads on the home screen continue I will be discontinuing my use of all Roku streaming devices and finding an alternative replacement. Even now with the uncertainty of wherher the ads will continue, I have stopped recommending them.
Please don't go down this dark path.
