I am not sure that this issue is being recognized. There are a lot of potential problems with this feature. I do not like everything I watch being widely broadcast to anyone that turns on my tv. I would like control over whether my watch history is used to push other titles. At least this should be an optional feature, not something uncontrollable. Also, are there any parental controls to limit what is suggested? I'm not happy.
It appears this is not a new issue. Do you have a timeline on when this major issue will be addressed?

Yes, could you please disable the "Because you watched" feature on the Roku channel. It's embarrassing when my adult children turns on the TV, and they can see the type of movies I've been watching. Plz help!

Roku is evidently tone deaf
I can't believe anyone thinks this is such a critical issue it might merit a class action suit. Come on people, this really doesn't rise to any level of importance. I don't even know where you are seeing this information. There's a setting under Settings/Home Page to hide recommendations.
No, as clearly stated and as clearly ignored by Roku, we are referring to the movie suggestions "because you watched xyz movie".
It's a feature built into The Roku Channel, not the Roku device. Considering TRC is free to use, any complaint about a class action should be laughed out of any law office. No one has been "harmed" by the inclusion of this feature.
I also would like control over this feature. I don't want my viewing history tracked nor do I want Roku suggestions. I should be able to delete viewing history.
Yes I've had the same issue with not being able to delete the previous because you watched and it is definitely not a great thing when you have children in the house and there is only one TV in the home
I'm with ya
