But note that Roku does not create the channel apps, the channel owners do. Roku just provides the platform on which they run. Discovery Plus won't be on Roku until Discovery supplies the app.
AND pays roku agreed upon fees.
ROKU's 2020 3rd Quarter Earnings = $452 Million - and they have 46 Million users which means they are making around $9.82 dollars from users each quarter. Heck if it was me I would be happy to earn 3-4 dollars a quarter, but then again I have been called cheap often.
Seems they are doing well - if they would stop being too pushy to earn as much as possible and become more concerned that their USERS are well taken care of? It would better for all.
Typically negotiations mean one wants more than the other - and of course neither one will admit they are wanting more than the other. This is a problem for all consumers - the corporations are only concerned about making as much money as possible and could care less about the end-users who 9 times out of 10 will pay more, simply because they fail to understand how to stand up to money-grubbing corporations.
All I can say is USERS need to do GOOGLE searches on corporations and when done would soon discover - most could care less about their end-users. It is up to end users to band together and let the corporations understand how they feel about them.

I believe that was revenue, not earnings...
When I watch T.V., I do so for entertainment. I'm glad that I don't get bogged down with facts & figures like you, G1, do. It must be **bleep** not being able to watch something just for the entertainment value. As with everything, ROKU will add Discovery+. It took them a few weeks to add HBOMax also. It doesn't how many figures you throw at them or how many threats they will add it when it benefits ROKU & without us realizing it, The end-user.
Agree with all the requests to add Discovery Plus to Roku. I dont want to switch platforms but am prepared to do so.
If not correct the service with advertising is $4.99.
Not that I want to pay more but they could have asked for 5.99 and I would pay for it. The options available, you can't find on any other streaming channel.
