Are you sure you really understand how Streaming (and even Roku) really works? I mean the choice on using a stand alone app or signing up through a third party service (like Roku's one). I think much of the bashing and griping one sees here and the online places all across the virtual world basically has it's beginning right here:.
™.......As far as content offerings go, there’s no difference between signing up for Paramount+ via the Roku Channel or downloading the streamer’s standalone app on your streaming device. The price tiers for Paramount+ are also identical on the Roku Channel, which is $4.99 per month for the ad-supported version, and $9.99 per month for the ad-free version. However, there is a free seven-day trial for Paramount+ on the Roku Channel....."

So there it is. My own Paramount Plus subscription is handled by stand alone apps running across the various devices I use to access content. The Roku Channel is only on my Roku made devices and laptops. All apples OR oranges here. I choose not to mix and match. Problems? I contact Paramount Plus' own call center directly myself. Not waste time trying to change Roku in some way and/or to revive their own Call Center. Not going to happen. Not a money maker-actually a real financial drain-for them.
Holding one's breath only kills yourself, not spurring a large corporation to even take notice of individuals specific or as a group.
Roku does not offer that option anymore except mostly through rather self limiting options like emails. Hence all these complaints and gripes growing in numbers. So unnecessary.
