Had a firestick for 4 years, switched to Roku a couple weeks ago and I wish I did years ago

I can boot up the Roku, open Plex, and start a video stream without ever seeing an ad

I have a TCL Roku TV, and it has ads. I always thought that would be the same on any Roku device, but I guess not?

I do have ad blocking at the DNS level setup on my router
