Continuous ROKU loop commercial

The fact that this thread started in May and it is now January and we are still forced to complain about the exact same commercials is ridiculous. I would rather watch a countdown screen over and over than hear one more word about weird Al, the marriage pact, home renovations, etc. FIX IT. NO ONE WANTS TO WATCH THESE GARBAGE SHOWS/MOVIES.

    If ROKU cares at all about their customers they would do something about these constantly repeating commercials on every streaming channel!  How many times do we need a fat sushi chef screaming FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!

      That is funny, I thought 😂 the same exact thing. After the six time I was really wishing they had the skip ad button like on YouTube.

      This is their way of punishing the free subscribers, with jamming these **bleep** commercials down our throat hoping we sign up and pay for premium services to watch a 20 year old show that isn't worth anything and still have commercials. i highly recommend PLUTO, or keep remote handy to mute the GARBAGE COMMERCIALS

    Same! I love watching dateline but the commercials on loop are a Jessica Alba home restoration, weird al, the Die Hart movie, and some other marriage show with the most annoying music in the background. All of it has annoying sounds and music. Fix it, please!

    I seriously want to trade my Roku TV in and get another TV.  I watch ION and I get the SAME STUPID commercials over and over and over again! Martha, the stupid sushi commercials, the dating commercial and the building log brother commercials.  The absolute most annoying thing ever! I'll pay a small fee just to get rid of those commercials or just have new ones!!   My Samsung TV doesn't do it, I might switch if they don't get rid of them or change it up. Unreal!

      So, Roku has infected their OS, too?  And to think I was going to buy a Roku TV, instead of a Google or a Fire.  Thanks for letting me know that Roku is killing EVERY facet of their business!

    I am so annoyed with the repeating commercials it's starting to drive me crazy. Now I think we found the source of mass shooters unhinged behavior. Please stop showing the same ads so frequently. I'm considering throwing all 3 roku devices I have into the trash. I've seen the same ads at least 3 times while writing this!

      I agree,But Roku is still better than my stupid android smart tv!! At least with Roku you can go to another channel quickly. Android tv is slow and jerky.

    Ready to get rid of Roku altogether. Yelling and the TV is not my thing but has become so every time I try to watch live TV. The same commercials over and over and over. Lincoln logs and designer shows are not what I'm trying to watch. Commercials are annoying enough but the same commercials over and over and over again Roku needs to fix it ASAP

        When Pluto TV has issues playing Real America's Voice or Newsmax 2, I don't even waste time with Roku.  I go straight to Rumble.

      Errrrrrrrrrr...........okay.  Thank you, Bot 4G85432.  What do they not understand??????  Maybe this is some kind of sociological experiment to see how many viewers eventually become insane:

    The nonstop T-Mobile commercial is just as bad. It's free but they could at least break up the monotony of the same **bleep** commercial over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
