Man Roku's just getting worse and worse. I used to love my Roku years ago. Thought it was crazy I would have a fire stick because Roku was so much better. Those days are gone. Well mostly I still hate Fire Sticks.

Roku always was a company with great engineers and shitty money grabbing management. The new user creation always requested data not necessary for basic operation.

No, most companies also have mostly incompetent engineers.
