• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Advertisements suck and no regular person would ever advocate for seeing more of them. Enshittification is also out of control and ad-free services you pay a subscription for are more and more sneaking in ads where they can. This combination of facts is why I am a deranged data hoarder with self-hosted solutions wherever possible.

  I just really really hate ads. If I had a Roku and this change rolled out to me I’d probably flip.
