Some rumors are passing around that GOOGLE is buying out ROKU. Is this true?

Where is the aquisition people ? Last time I checked Roku was still a trash brand no one wanted.

Google has been trying to crack TV since 2010. They made several attempts during this time including first party hardware devices( chrome cast, nexus tv) as well as software platforms such as GoogleTV, cast tv and android TV.. nothing has been successful so far. Current market leader is roku followed by Amazon. Followed by apple and Google. It makes sense for them to acquire roku. The question is whether roku will be willing to sell to google or try it's own destiny.

Lol. Why would Google buy such a trash product at 10B+ valuation. We have Android TV doing quite well.

Several years back I think people at Yahoo might have thought same thing ‘Why would Yahoo buy Google at $5B when Yahoo search is doing pretty good’. Look where is Yahoo now. Never underestimate mate!

Netflix is going to buy Roku. Not google!!

Google immi_g Jun 16, 2020

Lol

Netflix skhdue Jun 16, 2020

Hold on there. We already sold our stake in Roku long ago.

Google llbrh Jun 17, 2020

Why? I feel google buys companies only for these three reasons: 1. For IP like moto, HTC, fitbit etc. 2. For filling gap in cloud tech stack like CloudSimple, Elastifile, Kaggle. 3. Emerging competitors like waze, DoubleClick etc. I fail to see where Roku fits in all these.

Customer acquisition and making YouTube TV offering stronger?

Roku .jsx Jun 18, 2020

Massive user base? Android TV has never reported daily active users, I wonder why.
