Is this voter a Karen? Or are they just too lazy to get a device?

Maybe they have a good home movie set up and want to use that instead of a computer.

You can set these devices up to work with home entertainment setups, unless they flat out don't have a smart TV.

[la_loony]

Then they probably lack the smart TV if they wanted physical copies sent outXD

iirc in the article itself, the academy platform only works if you have an apple tv or a roku and this guy doesn’t have either

[okwerq]

a also works on a computer but this voter doesn't want to watch on that and seems too old/inept to understand that you can cast/connect your computer to your smart tv lol

[mathkills]

Yeah, like, if you have a Firestick should you really have to buy a Roku too for just one app?
