They must be seriously bloated. I have to sit through about 20 ads to watch a rerun of Frasier. How can they not be making money?
NOBODY escapes Biden’s economy it’s like the plague.
The Trump Covid recovery period is over. Biden can’t take credit for it anymore, and now, he’s got to take credit for the downturn in the economy. Whatever happens from now on, it Biden’s fault, an in reality, Biden killed the economy on day one, but, thanks to Trump’s economy, we didn’t get totally destroyed; not yet.
Streaming is a failing business concept..............
How much can they save by relocating from California to The South?
Well, that sucks...
The ads on all apps, except their one Roku Channel, come from the companies that make those apps.
Roku makes the finest streaming equipment available today, and it works with everything, as it is platform agnostic. It even works with Apple equipment to cast video and audio from iPhones and iPads to your screen.

Collapse or move.
They can start by moving out of California after the initial cost should be able to save a good bit
Roku’s business model was always going to have issues. As the apps for streaming services land on TVs, BluRay players, and cable boxes there’s less and less need for a devise that just runs apps. Sure they’ve got their own streaming service, but where’s the revenue there? They don’t have commercials. And my TV has a Roku app.
They need to figure out where the money comes from. They were a great bridge before everything that touches your TV could run the apps. But we’re on the other side of that now.
Bidenomics.
They wanted to charge me per episode to watch “Father Knows Best.”
Pluto TV is destroying Roku.
market saturation
“cut hundreds of positions in its workforce and slow down its hiring process in an effort to boost profits”
Is this a genuine case of being overstaffed - or the usual shell game where the savings are realized now while the cost of understaffing doesn’t become apparent until after the current fiscal quarter?
And are they laying off the empty suits with fancy titles whose only job is to throw buzzwords at each other? Or the people who actually make the goods and provide the services?
Roku overstayed it’s technology. It’s a little long in the tooth and didn’t adapt to the times.
i don’t understand why roku needs that many employees anyway ... roku boxes don’t need that much innovation ... now that they have 4K boxes, don’t know why they need thousands of employees ... their roku channel is just another ad-based channel amongst a gaggle of similar ad-based channels, and for me, life is too short wasting it watching or waiting for ads to finish ...
