Yo Roku! Get rid of the Spanish Commercials!

I don’t want to pay for a service where commercials are not in English. If companies want to advertise to Non-English speaking viewers then run those advertisements on the channels that are geared towards that language. I am really considering dropping Roku as well as all the apps that are participating in this type of advertising.

    In many cases the commercials you see are purchased from the channels themselves, not inserted by Roku, and Roku has no control over them.

    Good luck finding a better situation with some other streaming service.

      There are a good number of streaming services that don't play spanish speaking commercials during english speaking shows. Doesn't make sense for advertisers to buy spanish language spots, only frustrates and irritates customers.
