Topic	Peacock is here! ...unless you actually want to watch it. Skips Roku and Amazon
BeyondWalls 07/15/20 10:59:30 AM #1:	WarnerMedia and NBCU want people to access Max and Peacock directly through the app rather than through the Roku Channel and Amazon Channels, so that the companies can gather user data. Nearly a third of US customers in the past year subscribed to streaming platforms through aggregation services like Amazon Channels and the Roku Channel, according to Parks Associates. Roku typically takes 20% of subscription fees and Amazon between 15% and 45% from those who subscribe through their channel features, according to Variety. But in negotiations with WarnerMedia and NBCU, the platforms are also asking for ad inventory, free content for the Roku Channel and Amazon's IMDb TV, and more, Variety reported. God damn it. Just like HBO Max, don't expect Peacock to show up on Roku or Amazon anytime soon. Streaming players are the new cable companies. We're going back to where we were 10 years ago. Piracy is the only answer. I'm not buying a new device just to get one specific channel. And god damn it, Roku. Demanding content for The Roku Channel? Fuck you. We're all punished because your customer base is too damn stupid to use the channels that offer free content? Something tells me Roku gets a bigger cut of ad money on shows that play through The Roku Channel. All these people are the worst. --- END OF LINE <cite>BeyondWalls posted [p:942139771] in Peacock is...
