Get ready for MORE home screen ads!!!!!

From this article, it seems as if Roku is going to shove more ads onto the home screen.

Roku plans to “immerse advertisers in more parts of the home screen” by adding interactive and shoppable ad formats, Kristina Shepard, Roku’s vice president of global ad sales and partnerships, told AdExchanger during CES last week.

  • Sounds like a nightmare about to come true. All Roku really cares about is their ad revenue anyway, not customer satisfaction.

      If you don't want ads you have to buy an apple TV device. Amazon Fire TV and Google TV have ads too.

        My Shield is far worse on home screen ads than any Roku. Although from the sounds of this they might be trying to catch up. 😛
