      It’s capitalism… When every CEO, Board Member, and shareholder wants a yacht, it’s literally never enough. They even created a term to describe this inevitable deterioration of every company’s product: enshittification.

        It’s not that they all want yachts, they make enough to each buy multiple yachts. It’s just that nothing is ever enough. They don’t know what success is, so they chase the undefined feeling until they die unfulfilled. Fucking living dead and a cancer on collective humanity

          They want nesting yachts.

          And once they have a nesting yacht, they want an even bigger yacht to nest that one in.

          It’s yachts all the way up.

        Enshittification was coined for online services, which includes roku, but doesn’t apply to all products.

          Oh course it does, what are you talking about? It applies to any product or service that can have its quality gradually and intentionally reduced in service of having its profit margin increase.

      hence, punishing those who didnt get their own streaming box (that isnt roku based), or has a tv that has roku built into it.

        Owners of smart TVs and streaming sticks running Roku OS

        The article clearly states

        Owners of smart TVs and streaming sticks running Roku OS

        It IS affecting tvs with roku built in.

            Then you are writing it to mean the opposite of what you intended.

            Is this what you meant?

              hence why i went to clarify it on the second comment. I can agree that on the first attempt, it can be read off, but the second attempt clearly shows that roku tvs are affected regardless of how you read it

        Not what your original comment said. And completely disingenuous too, since the Roku streaming box is one of the most popular ones
