Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV

Thanks for letting me know to never buy a Roku. Someone should tar and feather the executive who came up with this idea. Fucking hell.

Executives don’t have ideas.
This idea is the result of an executive giving a non-executive an assignment akin to “we need to be showing ads more. Where can we fit them in?” And then the assignee would have come up with the idea, because their job depends on it. Then the executive approves the idea.
