Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Roku Labs is just a new name for what users have been doing on their own for years.
Personalized home screens are a feature that should have been standard by now.
Subscription bundles sound like a marketing ploy to get users to pay more.
This is just another round of rebranded features pretending to be innovation.
