In a r/Roku subreddit, one user wrote, “Hello! I just turned on my Roku and got an unskippable ad for a movie, before I got to the regular Roku home screen. Has anyone else experienced this?”
This clearly wasn’t a glitch — because many other people took to the thread to complain.
“I also had that happen today. If it keeps up my Roku devices will be in the trash,” one person wrote.
“Just experienced the same thing. Considering my options for jumping ship now,” another person shared.
“Yes this started last night for me. Pretty disappointing and intrusive. I can’t imagine it’s enough to make me leave Roku, since I already have three sticks and two Roku TVs, but I won’t be buying any future Roku devices,” a comment read.
