i miss old plex (~2016), when it was actually focused on providing local content, good thing jellyfin exist
Time to move to jellyfin I guess
Sorry, why are we switching away from Plex because of this? Genuinely asking.
See my long winded response here
Thanks. I understand this perspective.
So I read it and I still don’t see the outrage.
It’s in the second paragraph. This is the beginning of the monetization for everything in Plex now that they have a good user base. They are starting to ramp up the milking.
It will become like any other shitty streaming service eventually.
And? As long as I can watch my content, why should I care? It’s a business with employees and they need to make money somehow.
If you cannot comprehend why people are outraged at a product they used getting degraded, not sure what to tell you.
It still does what it did when I started using it. What’s the problem?
If its DRM free its not a problem.
Not until it’s a mandatory popup or recommendation any time you want to watch. Or maybe mandatory ads and popups on “new releases”. With Plex, nothing surprises me now.
Well I use Jellyfin as I don’t want proprietary software on my system and this isn’t making me have any regrets. The benefit of Plex is what again?
It would be great, but no chance in hell movie studios would go along with this.
Imo this is not enshitification yet, but I’m concerned it could pave the way! It all depends on whether they make using your own content harder to promote this, or if it’s just a side hustle to add another revenue stream.

I’m old enough to have not trusted Plex since the original XBMC split.
I still have an original Xbox with Xbmc on it lol
