And if it's anything like their streaming boxes, pressing a button on the controller will select the ad instead of resuming your game. Happens too frequently that I'll pause a show to eat or something, screensaver comes on and when I press a button on the remote it launches the roku channel instead of resuming the show I paused.

    Classic enshittification: extract values from both sides.

    Consumers get a worse experience seeing unwanted ads
    Advertisers pay for clicks that are erroneous
    Roku's numbers go up

    It's a shame there's no easy way to flash custom OSes on smart TVs, in general. Even just nuking the whole thing to be a dumb display would be amazing.
