About this listen
Roku’s bold move to autoplay ads before the home screen loads has ignited a firestorm of backlash, with users threatening to ditch the platform for Apple TV or Raspberry Pi setups. Critics slam the intrusive ads, citing concerns over device overheating and the relentless "enshittification" of streaming services. Avonetics threads are ablaze with users sharing workarounds like Pi-hole ad-blockers, disconnecting Roku from the internet, or switching to ad-free competitors. The overwhelming outrage suggests Roku’s reputation is on thin ice, with many reminiscing about its once-beloved interface. Will this ad blunder be the final straw?
