I think it’s because people (some) are all talk. We bitch about corporate greed and stuff like this, but when it comes down to it, when you need a new electronic device and one’s half the cost, which one do people buy?
The one with ads and that’s made by slave wage third world workers, or the one that’s twice as expensive?
As a whole, we tend to be garbage and materialistic…
Everything is just about lowest cost and least effort.
Like Twitter, nobody I knew left, despite it being free to do so. Same for Facebook, Reddit, WhatsApp, etc. Each scandal nobody seems to do anything.
I expected people to so watching ad supported Netflix, but it has seen huge growth and is their highest profit source.
I’m disappointed because I know I’m going to get ads everywhere no matter what now, and it’s on every electronic device, which need “secure boot” and whatever else so you can’t circumvent the ads. .
Remember when Netflix started showing ads on a paid plan, and everybody was saying they’ll quit.
“Haha! Look how Netflix will be thrown into the hole with Blockbuster, so nobody will follow.”
So, where are we today? Everybody starts doing it, and Netflix is better than it was then.
Yeah, you’ll have to forgive me for not being so sure Roku will eat too much shit over this, and that more companies will not follow.
I see Samsung’s boner from here.
I fully do not expect Roku to face any consequences except more sales, sadly.

I won’t be buying Roku either.
Yes, that’s what I’ve learned.
