Plex was bought out by venture capital and has been enshittifing for years. “Free” media stream sources added riddled with adds that you have to opt put of, opt out “everyone can see what every is watching” features, nebulous “we need to upload hashes of your media to skip credits” privacy issues, abandoning apps for various platforms like kodi, on and on.

I have a lifetime pass, but now don’t consider plex a viable platform long term. The issues are not baseless, but rather based on what plex has decided to do to make even more money.
