Roku’s home screen ad experiment crosses the line
Streaming-device ads should never get in your way. Roku has lost sight of that. Contributor | Mar 20, 2025 7:00 am PDT Roku has sunk to a new low in the streaming wars, with an experimental ad format that blocks your home screen behind an auto-playing video ad. Roku players recently started playing a trailer for Moana 2 instead of loading the home screen they were turned on. While Roku says the ad is just a test, and that users could manually dismiss the ad instead of watching the whole thing,
