People are gonna be so pissed at the false positives on this, lmao. What an awful idea. I mean they'll hate the function generally but this is 100% not going to work as intended and be even worse.
I imagine as soon as someone has to see an ad in the middle of their Call of duty match or whatever, they'd be either returning that tv or at least never buying anything from roku again. The brand would burn itself down, making people not want their tvs, which in turn makes them lose money by having less people using them and seeing their ads
Lmao I’m imagining a slur-cursing kid getting an ad in the middle of their rant and hurling a controller at the tv in a fit of anger
which means they'll increase the amount of ads they show to the rest of the suckers who continue to keep their roku/tv
end result being anyone who keeps using roku anything just sees ads 24/7
They’ll either SWAT Roku executives or go on a mass shooting rampage at a local Arby’s
