At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?
Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don't understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.
Maybe I'm just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?
You literally can’t buy a non-smart TV anymore
I bought a couple Sceptre TVs six years ago, been great.
Those ar ehonestly not priced as bad as I thought for them not being able to sell your data.
Interesting. My local retailers offer no such thing, but maybe I should start going out of my way to get a dumb one.
I got the cheapest 4k 55 inchers. I paid like $300 for it. My only complaint was the speakers, but a sound bar fixed that for me.
Those are LCDs at OLED prices. It's almost double what an equivalent smart TV is.
Because they are not getting any money off selling your data.
