My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.
They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.
This is not new

Gross.
Well, it is a Roku.
If you don’t want ads, spend more on an AppleTV, which seems to be the only thing that isn’t trying to jam ads down your throat.
I don’t think you need the rest of the Apple system, you can just install Netflix and Plex and whatever else you use.
