Is YouTube Punishing Roku Owners With Massive Ads?
YouTube Roku Channel Users Are Livid With The Amount Of Ads Recently
It's no secret Roku and YouTube are having a spat
When Roku removed the YouTube TV channel from their platform after a recent carriage dispute, YouTube struck back. First they offered their Live channels inside their regular YouTube channel which Roku did not remove.
Then YouTube offered a Free Android based TiVo or Chromecast to any new customers that signed up for their Live TV channel.
Recently the number of ads that play on their YouTube channel increased dramatically. Some users have complained that in some YouTube videos on Roku they have been running ads every 3 minutes. This has YouTube users on Roku seeing red.
Overly excessive ads will drive many Roku users to seek alternative platforms for watching YouTube. Especially since Android or a PC users can use software apps to block and eliminate ads. Sony TV or Nvidia Shield, gives users the ability to install Smart Youtube which removes all the ads.
Roku to combat this abusive use of ads, may need to update their software terms. They could put a limit or cap on the number of ads channel developers are allowed to run during a video. Otherwise, the Roku entire platform could suffer as users get frustrated by an overly large number of ads.
As long as channel developers can inject execessive ads they way YouTube has done to their channel, Roku end users will bear the brunt of it. And they may simply seek another alternative which has less intrusive ads or no ads at all.
Ads are a big part of Free TV channels, and most users who watch Free TV hardly object to watching limited ads. But when most of the content is an ad, many viewers won't tolerate this for long.
YouTube Premium is another option for an ad free experience on Roku. Users can sign-up for premium and watch YouTube videos 100% without the ads. After a a one month free trial, it costs $11.99 for the ad-free YouTube option.
This is probably the easiest option to eliminate the excessive number of YouTube ads on Roku.
