Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April
huskypenguin@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoHow is it irrelevant? Plex offers a bunch of services that cost them money that we don’t use, so they jacked up prices for streaming our own data.

It’s irrelevant because even Plex themselves made no mention of their in-house streaming stuff. The discussion is about being charged to view your videos, hosted on your own self-hosted server, viewed on your own device.

I disagree. Sometimes you need to look at the situation as a whole in order to understand the motivation.

Ok, so you’re implying people were using their videos for free instead of paying for the streaming services. Then Plex wanted more money so they’ve started to charge people for using their own stuff.
That’s fine, and frankly I agree with that.
But your initial reply to me is still irrelevant to the discussion.
