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.

Thank you Roku, a step forward towards self hosting and self managing of every service

How are you going to self-host streaming hardware? A HTPC for every TV in the house along with a mouse and keyboard?
