I don't even consider any other hardware when buying streaming devices. I wish they didn't get into content creation because it meant they used to be entirely neutral in streaming.

Imagine buying a Chromecast and they block Prime Video because they're a competitor. When Roku wasn't producing content, it felt like they stood alone as a reliable hardware provider.

I still won't consider another piece of hardware, but that idea of neutrality has sailed.

They are still neutral. When I open my Roku TV I choose which channels appear first, and there is no Home Screen that forces me to see a particular channel over another.
