Wow, that’s not one response I’ve heard before. When you guys say that over and over, it doesn’t make us smarter.

From what I have read, Roku’s standard deal is that they want 20% of a channel’s subscription fees or 30% of a channel’s ad inventory.  If a channel finds that to be excessive, they could increase the advertising on their channel to compensate for the ads or income given up to Roku.  I have no inside knowledge about content providers, but this seems like an obvious solution for them.

Banned but back. Because why not?
