    Sorry, why are we switching away from Plex because of this? Genuinely asking.

    E: Wow at the downvotes to an honest question. 🥲

        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?
