TAKE YOUR ADVERTISEMENTS OFF MY PAID PRODUCT

Question

I paid a lot of money for this to be a TV. &nbsp;JUST A TV. &nbsp;Not another way for you and your “””sponsors””” to get your grubby little hands all over my time and my eyeballs. &nbsp;I paid for this product, NO ONE needs to make MORE money by advertising to me on the object I bought and put in my home. &nbsp;I sw2g if my toaster starts popping up push notifications I’m moving to Antarctica.

Not gonna happen.&nbsp; You ever watch a regular dumb TV with commercials every 2 to 3 minutes for the shows broadcast on your paid product?&nbsp; And most likely these TVs are being sold at a break even or money losing price in the hopes that the subscriptions and ad dollars make up for it.&nbsp; Or do you really think that 40 plus inch TVs really sell for 150 bucks when the parts cost more than that to make?

You realize this is a public forum for comment. If you want a private response, send them an email. And what do you expect Roku reps to say? Oops sorry, we will take it off right away.

How do you "un-buy" a product?

User50000 · Answer

The expected response from Reps is “thank you for your feedback; we’re passing it up the chain”. &nbsp;Theoretically one could un-buy a product by returning it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but in this case, I was being metaphorical.between the two of us, though, one person is someone hanging out on Roku help forums to “teach a lesson” to people dissatisfied with products. &nbsp;I’m worried about you, bestie— do you have like hobbies or something?

I am not trying to teach you anything. I am not sure that is possible as obviously your English grammar classes didn't work for you.&nbsp; I have plenty of hobbies, thanks for your concern.&nbsp; I just happen to have one of those portable ad-filled devices to be able to post through another one of those ad-filled devices, called the internet, to be able to reply to your witty comments.&nbsp;&nbsp;To be frank though, I can agree with you to an extent that the advertising has gotten out of control.&nbsp; However, expecting a company that makes the majority of its money by selling cheaply priced devices that allows ads in a variety of ways, to restrict or change its behavior just because you post about it is unrealistic at best.&nbsp; Especially, when the competition is doing the exact same things.&nbsp; These companies know that you will have the same or similar experience by going to another brand.&nbsp; That is why there is a influx of cheaply priced TVs on the market because they are relying on the advertising to make up for the loss of selling the TVs or streaming devices at break-even or loss prices.&nbsp; &nbsp;The only way that behavior of having ads everywhere will change is by regulation.&nbsp; Unfortunately, it is doubtful that will happen in today's climate either.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless you get a TV or device that has no streaming features, there is no way to avoid it. Even then, advertisers will find a way to market their products to you.&nbsp; Or have you not seen a series you are watching have the main character drinking a popular beverage or using a product with a known logo on it?&nbsp; &nbsp;Ads on TV have existed since 1939 and in television programs within a couple years after that.&nbsp; As technology has evolved, so have the advertisers/marketers, whether we like it or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure, they will give you a canned response, if that is what you are looking for.&nbsp; Then you can turn on your TV, ignore the ads, stress less and watch a series you enjoy.
