Enshittification continues. I used to evangelize roku bc I want a dumb TV. I guess that's no longer valid.

    Dude it's a terms of service update, it's not like watching ads on a subscription you already pay for.

    The terms of service update made you sign away your rights to sue the company if they refused to honour the warranty, that's what people are upset about

    I know, I read it, and those words mean absolutely nothing. You and I will never be affected by it. It's like a random passerby waving sage at you and telling you they've disturbed your aura.

    I promise you practically every TOS you've ever blindly clicked through said something very similar.

    You are downvoted, but you are right that at least some do this

    ToS are generally not binding as it's not expected for the average person to actually read through the dense language. There is precedent for this
