The dark pattern I hate the MOST is when you pause a show on #Roku and after a while it goes to the screensaver. But it you pick up the remote and hit “play,” it hijacks your selection and thinks you hit play on whatever ad they were showing you in the little billboard on the bottom.
To actually unpause your show you have to hit any other button to get back to the show before unpausing.

TL;DR Quote, "So there's video on the home screen now. And we -- and we're selling that increasingly to just consumer packaged goods to all the different verticals.""

..."So what we're focused on is growing -- this year, is growing platform revenue by implementing our strategy. And our strategy really has three prongs. One is to really lean into our home screen. The fact that, like I said, households with 125 million people every day, turn on their TV, they see our home screen, they begin -- they use that experience to decide what they want to watch. They also engage with that experience, but there's actually a lot of opportunities to put ads in that experience itself.
Like, for example, we just added a video ad to our home screen that is used by a whole bunch of different verticals, including car companies, which I like to -- it's a great way to have massive reach instantly for a video ad. So anyway, so leaning more into our home screen. There's a lot of things we can do there."...
..."And our home screen was not one of the things we historically focused on. We focused on keeping it simple. We focused on a great viewer experience. There's Iconic, our viewers love it. It's different than all our competitors, which all tend to look alike. But we didn't really focus on how can we use it to drive our business. And so that's what we're doing now."...
..."Other examples. We added -- we have the marquee ad unit which is on our home screen, which used to be just banner ads and it used to be just M&E ads. We added video to that. So there's video on the home screen now. And we -- and we're selling that increasingly to just consumer packaged goods to all the different verticals."
Headline: #Roku testing pre-home screen #ads, users consider "jumping ship"

When I posted about #Roku autoplaying ads on the home screen It had not started for me yet. I just had my first autoplaying ad.
I literally hit the home button to take it off screensaver so I could open #Jellyfin on #Viv and an #ad for Mona movie played with the audio.
This #enshittification has pissed me off to my core. I have been a Roku owner since it was branded the Netflix Player. Matter of fact I still have that first ever device somewhere in a box in the garage.
This is out of bounds

Smart TVs were a bad idea.
Roku testing auto-playing video ads before loading home screen
Does anybody sell a dumb streaming box outside of Roku ? Like I want to be install Netflix as an app and watch it on my TV. But I otherwise dont want to login to google/amazon/apple ?
Failing that is their a #Floss solution here that would also be low maintenance and user friendly on my family.
Internet of shit, episode 56874: "Roku testing auto-playing video ads before loading the home screen"
@nohillside
Musste kurz nachschlagen, was #Roku ist. Und deren Selbstbeschreibung in den Webseiten-Metadaten behauptet so ziemlich genau das Gegenteil:
Dass du nämlich die Bedingungen fürs Streaming vorgeben könnest.
Dabei wollen aucb sie dir ihre Bedingungen aufzwingen.

“Awful”: Roku autoplaying ads loading before the home screen - Ars Technica #enshittification
Reports of Roku customers seeing video ads automatically play before they could view the OS’ home screen started appearing online this week. A Reddit user, for example, posted yesterday: “I just turned on my Roku and got an ... ad for a movie, before I got to the regular Roku home screen.”
#Roku confirms it, doesn't say if it will be a regular feature
Roku’s representative said that Roku’s business “has and will always require continuous testing and innovation across design, navigation, content, and our first-rate advertising products"
