I have about 10 rokus for the house, apt. etc. Instead of throwing them away, I would sooner sell or give them away to people that wanted them. This way the company does not profit from their F_ck ups.
What does selling the devices or giving them away do? If they are used by others, the ads and subscription possibilities are the same. Just like most streaming devices and/or smart devices from all brands most of Roku's revenue is from ads or subscriptions that they own or are managed by them with some revenue acquired by licensing their operating systems to third-party TV manufacturers. While I do agree that there is a point where it is oversaturated and a bit too much, you also are not going to get away from advertisement on any smart device, unless you pay for some type of premium no-ad service which most people are not willing to pay the cost of that, which continues to increase. Just ask HBO who continues to rebrand in an effort to survive in a crowded streaming space. Or the many other services that have either merged or gone out of business due to lack of profitability, which is why ad revenue has become more prevalent with all devices and apps.
