I would argue that, in this case, getting mad at Roku would be like getting mad at my ISP if they blocked Netflix because Netflix didn't pay them extra money. That's a world I hope we never come to (but the ISPs would love it.)

Don’t they already do that with peering agreements?

Yeah, specifically Free used to have poor bandwidth with YouTube and then Netflix. AFAIK they have found an arrangement since then.

I'm not smart enough to know how that works. But I do know that my ISP has not (yet) blocked Youtube or Netflix or whatever.
