Why must Roku find it necessary to clog up the home screen with tons of "recommendations" that I have to CONSTANTLY hide? Please stop doing this. I long for the early days of Roku when it was just the channel tiles I wanted to see. Instead, we now have the following we have to turn on or off:
Shortcuts (turned off - umm - stupid ... TV off? Ad Apps? No purpose for either)
Recommendation Rows (turned off - so now an AI is going to tell me what to watch?)
Sports (turned off - just add a sports channel if you want sports)
Live TV (turned off - just add Amazon, Hulu or YouTube and subscribe to live TV and get better experience)
The Emmy's Collection (turned off - these "seasonal" home screen suggestions are REALLY annoying)
Feature Free (turned off - who cares if free or pay - I will find the cheapest way to pay and then pay if I want to watch it)
Daily Trivia (turned off - totally stupid - if I want to play trivia I will play trivia ... if I want to watch Roku I will watch Roku - dumb)
What to Watch (turned off - I already know what I want to watch ... I don't need an AI giving me suggestions)
My Offers (turned off - just another way for Roku to make money)
I'm with you. Stop adding garbage to my screen.
And while I'm adding. I really really hate and despise your animated banner ads.
Yes. Agreed. I forgot the banner ads. What is up with that? If I purchase a device, why must I put up with ads?
Same here I'd rather pay more for the device if it meant they would stop adding dumbass stuff NO ONE uses period
