I don’t understand the question. I’m reacting to this story, what the company is doing, without distinction between the branded TVs and peripheral devices.
It’s a problem. Also reports of some reviews that do have mute buttons, but the functionality gets selectively disabled - I.e. on the YouTube app, pressing mute will pause an ad, but not mute. The point is to force you to complete watching ads.
Roku is the worst thing to happen to TVs since motion smoothing.
News to me, what Roku do?
I mean the sticks and boxes, not the TV’s themselves, I get those suck.

I get ads suck, and I was pissed and confused when I received one the other day on my Roku.
I just didn’t know if there was some other reason that they were the worst thing that happened to TV that I missed.
You ever wonder why many of Rokus remotes don’t come with a mute button? Weird huh… Maybe just an especially expensive button, huh?
Huh…I must have gotten lucky because all of mine have a mute button…

I’ve not run into that either, but YouTube doesn’t show me ads, fortunately
It’s definitely a dark pattern
