Channels & viewing

[Wnymama]

I have never seen so many HORRIBLE, unwatchable, low-budget ads...

Does Roku have high school interns making these ads? And is there any chance they will EVER not be the same 6 ads?

The same ones play over and over and over.... and have NOTHING to do with my favorite channels (Great British Baking Show, home and garden, PBS, cooking, etc.): Screambox, Swerve Combat, True Crime, Hi-Yah!, FGTeeV, and Haunt TV? Awful. Also, I don't think ads that feature Terrifier movies are appropriate for G-rated channels.

Or how about Crunchyroll, Yugi-Oh!, etc? Why are there so many anime commercials?!

No thank you.

How about enticing viewers with ads similar to what they are enjoying? When you shop for things online, there are always suggestions for similar items, not entirely opposite ones, right? Can we please fix this?!?! I get that I have to watch the same junk ads over ad nauseum, but can we please do better than this garbage?

I would truly appreciate it, and I am sure I am not alone in this plea. Thank you to whoever can lend their voice or fix this.

I doubt that Roku makes the ads themselves and probably just sell the ad space, unless they are ads for their own products or channels.  Some of that is also based on the apps themselves and the ad space the owners of those channels (third party and not Roku) sell. These days, it is also possible they are AI generated as well.

You can limit some of the types of ads, such as the horror stuff you mentioned.

1. Press Home on your Roku remote 
2. Select Settings 
3. Select Privacy 
4. Select Advertising 
5. Select Sensitive ad content 
6. Select one or more sensitive ad categories 
7. Press OK
