Switching from Roku to Apple TV

This is feedback for the Roku team. Yesterday I noticed that you made the app tiles smaller. The ads now appear larger in comparison and draw your focus away from the app tiles. . I am visually impaired and rely on the bigger tiles. Not only is it more difficult to see the app tiles, but the annoying ad space is even more distracting. I have been annoyed for a while with the semi permanent ads placed on the lower left of my screen, but now this intrusion of my TV screen with larger ads and smaller tiles has made this long time Roku Ultra user  purchase an Apple TV 4K. The new Apple TV 4K will arrive Wednesday, and the 2022 Roku Ultra that I bought less than a year ago will be resold to a neighbor. I have been a Roku user for over a decade and the 2022 Ultra model that I bought was my third Ultra. I am very disappointed. I also have a Roku TV that I use as my computer monitor and thankfully I almost never see the home screen but my disgust with the Roku company has caused me to add a new computer monitor to my holiday shopping list so that I can get rid of Roku completely. That's just how I feel. Shame on you. My TV screen is mine. Owning a hardware product outright should not give you the permission to take up my screen space with your distracting and forced ads. I say it again, shame on you! This is feedback for the Roku team. Yesterday I noticed that you made the app tiles smaller.
