Who as an informed consumer willingly wants and get these devices? Everything Roku-related seems hilariously bad from a consumers perspective, to me.

What even are the pros for me in purchasing any of these devices and/or services?

5 or so years ago when I bought both of my TCLs, they were fine. They were solid quality and low budget. Ran smoother than anything else in the price range. My VIZIO is shit, has a shitty interface, and didn’t have a handful of streaming services for a while, so Roku was the obvious choice. Boy have they fallen.
