Roku says it may lose YouTube TV app after Google ...
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.
