Scary and Inappropriate Ads on Home Screen

While I do appreciate learning about the ability to hide specific ads on the Home screen, you are still missing the point of what these parents are saying:

They shouldn't have to hide the ads in the first place. Your default assumption should be that you don't even ALLOW ads on the Home page for content that obviously would come with the disclaimer "parental discretion is advised". That is NOT a difficult concept.

Right now there is an ad on my Home screen for local news streaming. I've seen ads for children's shows and many other family-friendly shows. Those advertisers exist. Roku just needs to have the responsibility and integrity to say "This ad is not appropriate for all ages and therefore you cannot have an advertising spot on the Home screen where anyone might see it, that's the wrong forum for your ad".

While we're at it, Home page ads are obnoxious in the first place. They do not inspire me to watch anything and simply make me annoyed with both Roku and the advertisers. Roku did just fine before these ad spaces came along. You have wonderful wallpapers that I can't properly enjoy any more because you got greedy.

I also agree with other community members that if you're watching something that is G or PG content, you should NOT be seeing ads for R content. Don't tell me you can't control that because that's nonsense. Yes, you could. You just haven't been motivated to make that a priority. Yet.

Finally, your new feature does NOTHING to address the other Home page ad space (the one in the lower left corner).

We should all be able to totally disable all Home page ads. Especially if you're not even going to use common sense about what is appropriate for potential viewers of all ages and backgrounds to see on a simple menu page.

This is not a solution, this is a bandaid for 1 ad. I can't even go on the Roku app and put on a kids show without randomly seeing scary trailers ( twisted metal ). Something needs to be done about this, my 4 year old is traumatized, and just saw the exorcist. 

I'm already in the works to replace my Roku devices with Apple devices after reading the recommendation. I'm over it. If rather pay more and enjoy my experience than save money and end up angry and frustrated. 7 tvs in the house..4 already replaced with Apple products. On way to all 7 being replaced this week. Done with it. If they won't listen, then we should all hit them where it hurts.. In the bank account. Then maybe they'll listen. My tvs aren't going to someone else. They're going to a landfill. Yeah.. I'm that irritated. Don't care how much it costs. It's the principle. Money matters less than my principles. Integrity still counts for something these days. Bye Roku. Don't expect to see you around much longer. You pooed where you eat.

Hi, We all know what inappropriate Ads are for young children even sensitive adults.

We should not be requested to further look at these ads for your advertising dept. to evaluate them.

Using the parental restrictions should be enough to tell Roku employees that one doesn't want these ads. I

It is enough. I chose Roku streaming to avoid unwanted ads "surprise ads" they can be frightening to people with health issues., children, elderly adults. 

It is time people take responsibility for TV content.

To clarify, is there a way to block ads like this? There's also a drag queen ad being shown without regard for age appropriateness. 

I love horror movies, tv shows, suspense thrillers, etc.  I also am a 55yo man.

What may appeal to me would not appeal to small children.  Especially when their parents have already taken steps to block this type of content from their children.  

Really give a bad look for Roku. "We don't care about your child's nightmares.  We make 11 cents every time a child sees this ad."
