Instead of a Roku Stick, you could use the Google TV Streamer or Apple TV 4K…..…..Amazon's Fire devices are also an option, but I figure anyone with moral qualms against Fox may have similar issues with anything tied to Jeff Bezos.

I got a kick out of the article recommending Google and Apple like they’re the ethical option against Amazon here. Any sane person with moral qualms against Bezos will have plenty about Google and Apple too, so let’s not pretend that any of them are anything less than evil.

  1. Buy a second hand Google TV or amazon Firestick so your money doesn't go to the tech overlords
  2. Change the android rom to linageOS
  3. Profit

The Firestick I had could be rooted using an exploit to install linageOS, you should always research in advance to see if the device you are buying can be hacked
