Roku is similarly evil towards smaller apps, like demanding a cut of app revenue after the app gets a large user base.


What percentage does Roku take? I wasn't aware that they were in the same rent-seeking game as the other app stores. They do talk about their "Platform Revenue," but it seems that's mostly generated from ads.


AFAIK they're trying to take 30% of revenue from every app, even from ads that are internal to the app. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-18/nbc-threa... https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/rokus-recent-fight-with-fox-...


Would love to read more information on this.
