I'm not an expert but I've painted lots and lots of ceilings and walls and everything else (20 rental properties), I normally go to walmart and buy the cans of paint labeled "Ceiling paint" and just apply that . Never remember seeing any roller stripes. And I use the left over on the walls, cabinets , carpet, whatever !

gloss on a ceiling is not the brightest idea. roller marks aside, you will see EVERY imperfection, including those you never knew were there.
there is a reason Ceiling Paint is made, the consistency is formulated for application on the horizontal, and it is flat. The color changing type is the best so you ensure even coverage.

oh, and to paint over that you will need to hit it with something to knock down the gloss (sandpaper or liquid deglosser), otherwise the paint bond will fail prematurely.

Spray it on. Use a less shiny paint. The shine shows all.

I had planned to take a sledge hammer to those things but my son says they are so different and cool that I ought to try them for a while and see if their uniqueness helps the room.......... I've got the sledgehammer close by.
