Hi Berndta84

A warm welcome to the Roku Community!

We understand where you're coming from regarding the ads on your YouTube channel. However, many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel providers themselves.

For more information about that channel's features and functionality, including ads, you can contact the channel provider support directly to inquire further.

Here is how to contact YouTube Support.

 

Thanks,

Mares

    How is this my thread and Roku moderator's response to others in the thread? Now, to be honest, these moderator responses looked canned so I suspect these are just bots but it would be nice to get someone who actually works for Roku to at least respond to my legitimate question. I think I did the legwork to prove "shenanigans" and the fact that Roku should be concerned that Google is making your product less of a streaming device if one is considering using it to watch YouTube with ads.
