I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**
we live in hell
I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

The comments suggesting the system sends 2 screenshots a second is truly worrying.
It might take 2 screenshots a second, but I suspect that will be hashed in some way, even if just to save their on incoming bandwidth rather than for privacy reasons.
It's still fucking absolute bullshit though, and has at least told me that anything with Roku written on it is well worth avoiding.
See this shit. They're fucking proud of it.
That looks like an advertisement to advertisers though so they would want to be proud of it.
Roku:"money money money fuck the user money money fuck privacy money! Who cares that they paid for the device and the content money money money!!"
Advertisers: "OMG! Money money fuck the user! Money money money!"
Funny and true
"Building audiences for activation" sounds like they're planning to just activate a sleeper army to execute dastardly plans with a highly specific Activia commercial.
It's crazy how marketer-speak sounds like PR-friendly Saturday Morning bad guys.
Well I guess that explains why my Roku TV is the worst culprit for hammering my pihole.... Holy shit.
giggity
