It tracks watch history and allows you to build lists, in a way that should integrate with other services. How well it does that is questionable
Some people might still be using it out of habit or loyalty, but a $30 price jump might change that

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

I used to use it to sync my watch history between Plex and Emby but stopped years ago when I dropped Emby. I can’t imagine what they’re offering that people would want to pay for though.

I use it to track my watchlist on Emby as well, never even knew there was a paid part of it. No idea what that would even cover.

Seems to be some kind of centralized streaming service catalog. Never heard of it before now and no idea why anyone would be willing to pay $30 for it let alone $60.

Ok I used to feel sorry for streaming box users, but this is in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.

I don’t, and I don’t care what they make. I see double in cost, while simultaneously screwing over the founding members who literally funded their company…fuck em. They could make the best heartpacer for all I care. Doubling your cost…get fucked

I’m assuming you mean pacemaker.

They do, and as a Canadian, they should know that fellow Canadian John Hopps invented the 1st pacemaker. He’s even considered the father of biomedical engineering. I dug through trying to find out if he coined the term “heartpacer,” no such luck. It sounds like a Dutch translation to me.
