Spanish ads on english language chosen content
I see it on The Roku Channel, so I am reporting it. This has been happening for the past several months. Roku is responsible for The Roku Channel, so Roku needs to fix the issue.

So many do NOT want Spanish commercials posted and KUDO'd on other community strings. I have more acquaintances in St Louis that speak Czech or Bosnian than all those who speak Spanish. (I speak only English.) There are Spanish stations. How many English commercials are on them (or Bosnian, Czech, Chinese, etc.)? Why is Roku ignoring all the community complaints about Spanish commercials? I guess because Roku doesn't care. I'm finding alternatives on my TV to get away from this annoyance. Thank you (for ignoring this too, I'm sure).
Hey if you start running some Chinese ads, please let me know where you are running them and I’ll watch. Getting a chance to practice my Chinese would (might!) be worth actually watching TV channels with commercials in them!
Why aren’t they paying attention? Well for starters, I think all the people who have complained amount to less than 0.0003% of Roku’s user base. And those users, in the commercial TV lingo, are “The Product”. It’s “The Customer” (the advertiser) who is calling the shots. Now, of course, the customer wants his ads to be as effective as possible, but he may be satisfied that this is about as good as it gets. In any case, it’s the customer who is paying for your TV. Maybe let them know their commercials are not well-targeted in your case. Who knows – they might be surprised. Then again, they might be the only customer that whatever-channel-you-are-watching can get!
We are Amercans and if you don't want to learn our language or assimilate, go back to your country. It just makes me mad that Roku accepts the opposite
cara223 Racist much?? First, learn how to spell...Americans. Second, learn the definition of American which can mean 1) an American Indian of North America or South America 2) a native or inhabitant of North America or South America and 3) a native or inhabitant of the U.S. Approximately 70 million people in the US are Hispanic or of Hispanic origin, which also includes those whose families are both from North and South America. Finally, take an ancestry test and learn where your family history is really from.
Number one, I don't need someone from another country telling me I'm racist or can't spell, which is typical of Leftists trying to degrade everyone that doesn't agree with them. My Dad, my Grandparents were from Riga Latvia and came here and learned English and it is our language just like your language in the UK is English so don't try to change our language, my Dad was proud to be an A M E R I C AN, I can spell, nothing racist just fact. I have studied my heritage and have several European descendants, and I'm proud of that, but I wouldn't go to their country and insist they speak my language. Please stay in your country, change all their wonderful customs, and stay out of mine with your mindset.
I think your starting out statement is incorrect. Had it not been simpler to make a complain instead of going to chat group that has no power or expected power with results.
