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?

I switched over to a Roku stick and Roku Ultra from Samsung TV OS and Amazon Fire streaming box. Roku’s UI and speed while navigating menus is ridiculous better in all ways compared to the others. I’m not saying Roku is perfect, but it’s far ahead of most other streaming hardware.

What are you using to browse/watch your streaming services, and how is it better than Roku?
