Roku looks to be seriously tightening its pursestrings. The company’s laying off a full ten percent of its workforce, over 300 employees, in addition to a conducting a number of other cost-cutting measures, as reported by Variety. These job cuts are just the beginning, as Roku’s also removing streaming content, consolidating office space and reducing outside service expenses. The goal here is a major reduction in the year-over-year operating expense growth rate.

Having used Roku stuff recently, and helping family out with their new shiny Roku tv's, I couldn't agree more. You took the words right from me. They enshittified bigtime since the days people genuinely loved using their products.

Roku tv interfaces are still better than vizio and even samsungs slower advertising interfaces.
