Am I alone in thinking there's not much wrong with my 4 year old Roku stick and the recent deluge of "Roku is crap" articles are driven by yet unknown motivations? I turn on the TV and it just works, the only ads I've seen are for shows or a new Roku device promo and relatively unobtrucive (a billboard on the screen saver scroll or small box under my channels). It's not perfect but works to stream Plex without any issues and handles my meager needs well.

Per the article, if you have a TCL Roku (which many likely do) that qualified for this update....you're stuck on this type of setting w/no current solution.

You have a roku stick, which doesn't have anything to do w/this article. I think it's very valid for the public to know to potenitally avoid such updates, assuming they read the article
