Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads.
- Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future.
- The ads will be interactive and ‘shoppable’ and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars.
- Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.
I just shuffled some hardware around and got an old Roku that I thought was dead going again. One of the ads that appeared on the homescreen was “Cancel THIS! the Rosanne Barr Special” so if that’s the kind of movie ads you’re looking for you’ll love Roku!
