Re: Because you watched can't be changed

I will delete Roku if they dont fix it so I can turn this feature off. You already have the “more like this” feature. Dont need both and this is just annoying. 

Re: Because you watched can't be changed

I agree. About to delete Roku.

Would having the Roku user reset their advertising identifier or virtual device ID resolve this issue?

The Roku UI has 2 Privacy Controls:
Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising -> Reset Adverting identifier
Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising -> Personalized Ads  [Uncheck box]

If you uncheck the setting for Personalized Ads, does the "Because You Watched" personalization go away?
