Roku is pretty nice
Roku is literally chock full of ads, and they send whatever you’re watching back to their ad partners. I thought Roku was good too until I recently bought one of their top of the line boxes and it had ads _everywhere _ compared to my Roku tv. I immediately went out and bought an Apple TV and couldn’t be happier. No ads anywhere, and is way snappier than Roku.
Due to how they made it on scratch based on the Linux kernel, finding apps to install is hard. It doesn't even have a web browser, let alone SmartTube.
