Basically punishment for people who either don’t get their own streaming box/avoid tvs with roku built in.

It’s capitalism… When every CEO, Board Member, and shareholder wants a yacht, it’s literally never enough. They even created a term to describe this inevitable deterioration of every company’s product: enshittification.

It’s not that they all want yachts, they make enough to each buy multiple yachts. It’s just that nothing is ever enough. They don’t know what success is, so they chase the undefined feeling until they die unfulfilled. Fucking living dead and a cancer on collective humanity

They want nesting yachts.
And once they have a nesting yacht, they want an even bigger yacht to nest that one in.
It’s yachts all the way up.

Enshittification was coined for online services, which includes roku, but doesn’t apply to all products.

Whether it was coined for all products or not, it’s definitely applying to all products
Snapz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh course it does, what are you talking about? It applies to any product or service that can have its quality gradually and intentionally reduced in service of having its profit margin increase.

hence, punishing those who didnt get their own streaming box (that isnt roku based), or has a tv that has roku built into it.
hyperhopper@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Not what your original comment said. And completely disingenuous too, since the Roku streaming box is one of the most popular ones

The article clearly states
It IS affecting tvs with roku built in.

hence its PUNISHING those who bought tvs that have it BUILT IN
