Then enjoy being tracked in increasingly unseemly ways.

The current morass of advertising chicanery continues to exist because people are willing to trade away their privacy for convenience.

If you know something sucks but continue to do it because it's convenient then it's beyond disingenuous to keep complaining about it.

"Doctor it hurts when I do this" and all that :p

you assume everyone, me included, is complaining, and that Roku doesn’t track either. That’s the same mentality that people had about Google in the early days. There’s a need for embedded solutions, better design, lower costs, etc.
