{"post":{"id":669,"title":"Fox just bought Roku for 22 billion dollars: does that change which streaming stick I should buy?","body":"Fox completed a 22 billion dollar acquisition of Roku today. I am shopping for a streaming device and I was leaning toward a Roku stick because it is cheap and simple. Now I am wondering if Fox ownership means more ads, more Fox content pushed to the home screen, or a worse experience in a year. Should I still buy the Roku, or pay more for an Apple TV or a Fire TV Stick instead? I mostly watch Netflix, YouTube, and sports.","community":"Computers","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"none","answer_votes":0,"leading":{"id":821,"name":"Buy the cheapest stick on sale","score":0},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"dandev","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-07T01:16:06.031Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/669","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":821,"name":"Buy the cheapest stick on sale","body":"A 22 billion dollar deal does not change what is on your TV next month. These integrations take a year or more, and Roku already shows ads. Buy whichever stick is on sale this week, probably the Roku Express for around 20 dollars, and revisit in a year if the home screen gets worse. Paying 130 dollars for an Apple TV to dodge ads you have not seen yet is the expensive move.","score":0,"rank_score":5,"author":{"username":"frugaljo","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-07T01:21:22.322Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
