Scary Ads on Home Screen - options to remove

Dear Roku, 

 

My 10-year-old son wrote the following:

 

I think that some of the sidebar pictures on the home screen are a little bit scary, like the movie It. Could you possibly get rid of them in the next Roku update? Or make a switch in the settings that allows you to turn them off or make them age appropriate?

 

Thank you for your consideration
