The company’s laying off a full ten percent of its workforce, over 300 employees, in addition to a conducting a number of other cost-cutting measures, as reported by Variety. These job cuts are just the beginning, as Roku’s also removing streaming content, consolidating office space and reducing outside service expenses. The goal here is a major reduction in the year-over-year operating expense growth rate.

Paid streaming and smart tvs were always a scam to try to get computer-functionality in a TV, but lock it down so you can only serve people garbage.
If you want to stream something, just stream it for free here: https://fmovies.to/
All you need is ublock origin. No credit card required. No signups.
But yeah, everyone jumps to say "x isn't on y, or z isn't on t" rather than just share how to watch it all for free.
Or 123series.art and a good popup blocker.
The more the merrier!

I love that there's loads of these sites.
Been watching a load of old crap on them recently. Stuff like Timecop. It's like discovering an old world that the regular streaming services forgot.
"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." said Father Gabe years ago. And he's right. If there was one legit service that had all this stuff, all you can eat streaming, for like £30 a month, all in as high quality as they made it, surround sound and all the trimming, I'd pay it.
But they don't, so I nick it.
