Why is Roku charging me $5.99 a month after?

That $5.99 monthly charge on your Roku bill is almost certainly for a premium channel or app subscription you signed up for, like AMC+, BET+, or another service, often from a free trial that auto-renewed, and you can stop it by checking your subscriptions at my.roku.com and canceling the service there, says RAINN. Roku doesn't charge a mandatory fee for the device itself, but acts as a billing agent for these third-party services, so you need to manage the subscription through your Roku account to stop the charges, according to RAINN.
