whew, thanks roku! for a awhile there i thought i might use one of your products. no longer a thought.
The forced arbitration EULA, ads on the homescreen, and prevention of installing your own apps didn't already convince you?
They sell their TVs at a loss because they anticipate making money back via advertising, so don't feel bad about buying a cheap 4k TV. It literally costs them money!*
*As long as you don't connect it to the internet for some dumb reason
