it's labelled as number of removals, I think it's an absolute number of removed posts per day(?) edit: sibling comment points out it's per 12 hour period, not per day edit: as for …

Presumably they can run the pirated version on actual hardware as well (via custom firmware etc.), and therefore compare?

Netflix also (I think briefly) offered DVD rental in UK, competing with LoveFilm. LoveFilm did continue for a while after the Amazon acquisition, both as DVD rental and with stream…

Yep for sure. Was just a response of simple things they could do, if they cared. Obviously nothing they won't have thought of themselves, was really just pointing out that it's not…

Yep, exactly same in app on regular Rokus - I was referring to the fact that the on-screen "Skip" is a relatively recent addition (at least on my Roku, Roku Express)

"instantly skippable" depends on device I think. For a long time, there was no "Skip" button in the Roku app, you could only manually forward through it. It has now been added, but…
