TBH, I did only briefly skim over the new TOS before agreeing, but this type of legal extortion is exactly why I just buy the bare minimum products and would never go full bore with purchasing a TV from them.
I don't need arbitration or class action, I just speak with my wallet and if Roku makes life hard, I would just throw all their hardware in the trash after smashing it up and cancel all services. And would never refer, or suggest, the company again to anyone. Actually the opposite with the negative.
I'm really not surprised about any of these tactics and honestly expected Roku to become too big for their britches sooner or later...it always happens to all corporations. They all suck eventually. Seen it happen many, many times.
Roku, you better rethink tactics as you have, or had, a good following. Why blow it up? Probably some "expert" gave them advice. Obviously bad advice.
Stupid to shoot yourself in the foot.
Going forward, I'll pull back on my patronage of Roku products and services until they figure things out, if ever.
The saying "I feel your pain" speaks volumes on this website. I only have a Roku tv in the fight, but still I'm reluctant to cede my God-given rights away easily. I've succeeded in dumbing down the tv to be still viewable at least until they drop the other shoe and stop me from even doing that tomorrow mebbe? BRING IT ON!!! Big corporations have only allegiance to their BOD and investors - none to their bread and butter out here. I might sound a little prejudiced here as I think the color "green" is seen here. If you ain't got some green - you're a second class citizen any where in the world. It's "us against "them" is what it boils down to. They make it hard to opt out to cut their losses. My son probably will just toss his Roku stick and grab one of the other streamers out there. Me, I can live without the service they provide here. I'm checking with Walmart on their return policies as it's only about 6 months old. Anyone know of any good "dumb" tv's out there? My rant felt good actually. LOL
