    Roku has already begun

    But I don’t have a Roku TV… someone in here even suggested a Roku streaming device would be better but that makes zero sense.

    It’s $20 and you can order it and have it delivered to your door.

    Yeah, if there was a reason to buy it.

    I am being very explicit.

    About the Roku injection of ads and anti-consumerism. Why would buying a streaming device made by another corporation be any better.

    …okay, go for it?

    I think our wires got crossed, I was asking you for evidence.

    I kind of get the gist of what you’re saying. But I just wanted to understand why there’s a “doom and gloom, down with all Smart TVs” attitude, when a lot of the streaming boxes are still made my these mega corps and could potentially have the same issues.

        So let me get this straight, I should not connect my TV of any brand to the Internet for fear they might do something that Roku did? If Roku are trailblazers, why do you think other companies selling streaming boxes won’t also go down that path?

        Why are streaming boxes safe but not Smart TVs?

        Why do you think Roku will care that you won’t tolerate them if you are and never were going to be a customer?

        Moving the goalposts

        Absolutely ridiculous. This whole thread is about reasons to use it over the native TV. I’m honestly interested. I’ve seen no solid reasoning. [Ignoring that this was a reply to your snark that I can get it delivered instead of “going out” to get one when I was actually asking why I should and you knew I was]

        It really just seems like you’re intentionally ignoring my answers

        You’re the one ignoring me! I asked if you’re talking “like a Chromecast” because I have one of those and if that is the kind of device you’re talking about, I can compare 3 different methods of watching anything on my TV that are better in every way.

        I don’t care to go and buy another similar device without a good reason, and I was simply interested in what the landscape looks like right now.

          I’m not sure why you’re getting so aggressive over this, or so defensive about being told to separate your TV from your streaming tools so that if the streaming tools start to suck you can just replace a $20 stream stick instead of a several hundred to several thousand dollar TV you need to calm down and stop being a dick to people trying to politely help you and explain things to you.
