When I asked how could Roku possibly get worse it was rhetorical.

What would it take for congress to roll back all this anti-competitive consolidation? Do we have precedent? Or do we just use the tools we have to break up monopolies and anti-competitive marketplaces? We've gone through this period of extremely overt picking of winners and motivated regulatory capture for those willing to pay to play with the executive branch. This is far more immoral than stealing a loaf of bread, far more people die and far more americans experience reduction in quality of life by the system working as currently designed to consolidate wealth and power for the jet set leisure class.

Well, there's the nail in the coffin for my past habit of recommending Roku TVs as the least evil "smart" option.
