I never liked the idea of Roku since I always felt like they could "go away at any moment" since that is all they sold basically.

Fun fact, Roku sells security cameras at Walmart, they're technically rebranded Wyze cameras (look just like them, same hardware) with Roku software on them. If you did buy one of those Roku cameras, maybe a good time to switch off to Wyze if you don't like this direction.

"I never liked the idea of Roku since I always felt like they could "go away at any moment" since that is all they sold basically."

That's odd since they've been around for 23 years. I would understand that stance 20 years ago.

I first heard of them in the early 2010s so it was not that odd back then.

But your claim was about "always" feeling that way, not "at first".

> rebranded Wyze cameras

Is that even possible? IIRC Wyze cameras are whatever cheap Chinese OEM model thy find and can brand the firmware for. Seems as likely that Roku went to same OEM source.
