Sorry but this article is just false and misleading.
Now look here.

Look at the logo in the bottom right.
Roku is already doing this and has been since last year. This is not a threat. It is a promise to shareholders and advertisers, and they have already fulfilled it.
I fail to see the claim that the article is false and misleading?
It sounds like what it states is what it is. Replace the phrase "currently has" with "didn't" and your issue evaporates.
Which seems like unfair criticism given that the present or past tensing of an article's statements are dependent on when it was written and is a rather fluid and interpretable thing. It's a reasonable expectation that readers can understand and adjust their perspective of past vs present tense without failing to understand what the article is conveying...
Especially to such a degree where the confusion from the past tense versus present tense of a statement is great enough to be considered "false and misleading"...
The article was written two days ago.
It's a joke. A funny joke. Relax.
