My thread is not about YouTube requiring people to watch ads or how the number of ads has increased over the years. It's about an increased amount of ads JUST on my Roku. I've posted the times (See further down this thread) when ads are shown on Roku and when they are shown on other devices like when I use the YouTube app on my phone or watch videos in my PC's browser. Although each device plays ads at the same time, the Roku has additional times when it plays ads.
Now, is this issue something Roku Corporation is aware of? That is something I would like to know. Since Google owns YouTube and also sells a streaming device, like Roku, targeting more ads at your competition when using their service would seem like an unfair business practice.
