Roku has always been a shitty company that wants to monetize everything. People are finally waking up. How many of us have a Roku remote that advertises a useless or bankrupt streaming service?

I know I’m old, but I miss having numbers on my remote.
Now I have a “sling” and a “crackle” button. 🙁

Yeah, I do miss being able to quickly type a code to jump to a known broadcaster. Opening up a menu is slower than jumping direct to said thing.
The Roku buttons solves that a little bit, but there is only 4, you can’t change them, and they prioritize featuring whoever pays up.

We need an anti-awards show for shit like this.

I like that. If there was a site that did like The Razzies for movies but for technology enshitification, I would definitely watch, and probably follow a blog if it was done well

Plungers wrapped in cheap tinfoil, don’t want to give them anything they can melt down and sell
