Roku gets you with ad targeting for ad supported programming. So, things with commercial breaks play ads based on what you watched on other channels. It's remarkably good at joining web browsing sessions from cookie-free web browsing sessions to my roku. I'm not sure what mechanism they use to join the accounts to web browsing sessions.

They don't get much from me. I watch very little, and less with commercials.

But yes, I get your point.
