I use apps such as Travel Channel, Spectrum, and Discovery on my Rokus. Does it seem to anybody else like it's always the same ads over and over? I don't have a problem with having ads, but why the same set of ads?
"TV anywhere" app ads

This is mostly an issue with Roku. I don't see the same problem as much on my Firestick, or Apple Tv as much as on Roku.
Nope! I see the same ads all the time with AppleTv. The apps sell the spots, not the device.
Multiple repeats of the same commercial will play several times
Mine gets stuck in a commercial “loop”. The batch of commercials don’t even finish before they start over again. I know it is the Roku because when I watch the streaming channel some other way (like on an iPad via the channel app) I don’t have the issue. Sometimes it can’t get out of the loop...

Notice Roku never offers truth/admit-ion to the issue. Like I said, same thing happens on AppleTVMultiple repeats of the same commercial will play several times

And you know this how? I mainly watch the apps from Discovery (Travel) and if they shut that down I'll just use the Discovery app.

From work, no money to be made in running them anymore.
If you mean the TV Everywhere Discovery app, those will be the next ones to be announced, Warner believes to will create more paying subscribers to Discovery+ or MAX.
I almost threw a beer at my TV last night because I'm sick of seeing the same 3 ads for AAA insurance!!
PS I already have AAA insurance!!

Be happy you are not streaming and have to watch the “My Balls are Hot” commercial on Pluto!
Well, I was streaming, but that sounds better than the commercials I was seeing!
That's why you should "ice your balls" three to 5 times a day according to the Australian guy of You Tube fame.

This is just smart business and economical. Nobody wants to go to 5 different apps for 5 different channels. If you own them all, put them into your super app/streaming service.
If you REALLY want to still offer a specific channel or stream for free (e.g., ABC), you can still do that on your super app. They wont, but they could. It's not technologically difficult. What IS technologically difficult is hosting your stuff in 5 different places and trying to maintain it all plus the CDNs, DBs, content servers, metadata, etc etc etc.
