Until roku starts shitting the bed it is the least worst choice for those that want ready to go streaming sticks or TVs. I will continue using my roku sticks until they force ads. I already turned off all the home ads and suggestions except the one for roklue or whatever I couldn't find a setting for.

least worst choice

I have Roku because they haven't died yet but AppleTV is a better choice. It's a Roku without the ads.

Does apple tv have a streaming stick?

I couldn't find one and couldn't tell if the box had some easy way to mount it to the wall behind the tv.

No stick.

But there's a wide range of Apple TV unit mounts for your wall or TV.

I'll consider spending nearly $200 each to replace each of my $40 roku sticks when they actually implement ads I can't turn off.

haven't had mine connected for a few months but my dietpi with the free adguard home (like pihole) was working great to block the ads on the ui and in a lot of the programming in the 'free' apps.
