One of my peeves on Disney+ on Roku, is scrolling down to ~third row for Continue Watching, takes another 3 seconds to load that list while I stare at the silhouette thumbnails or whatever. I can (barely) understand that they want to advertise their new content prominently above, but it’s just sloppy to make such a common flow (continue watching) feel so slow and irritating.

My peeve with Roku is that the Roku Express' processor is too slow for a smooth UI experience. It's always a few button presses behind.

You shouldn't have to buy the more expensive Roku 4K just to have a device powerful enough to run its own interface smoothly. Granted it's only $10 more but had I known the UI was sluggish I would have paid it from the start even though I don't need 4K. But now I've bought both.
