Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 days agoYou’re responding to the same disingenuous argument you see all over Lemmy made by folks whose jobs are in the IT field.
That being said, why hate Plex? I’m sure, like me, you’re grandfathered in. Is it fucking new users? Sure. Sucks. Not everything is a battlefield, and they’ll eventually fuck me and then I will abandon them, it is what it is. But for now, the shit just always works with almost no tweaking from me. I really can’t ask for much more. Got my mom to watch The Wire because of Plex.
I joined Plex a little at the end of 23, but only really started adding content early last year. I’m sort of glad I didn’t buy the lifetime pass, given the recent changes.
I’ve been able to share it with so many people (including tech-unfriendly family members). I guess we’ll just have to see what happens next with Plex, unless jellyfin becomes easier to set up for us less experienced home server folks…

I stopped trying to use Plex years ago (like 10) when that shit was just painful… AND they wanted to charge me for the luxury of that pain.
I’m sure it got lots better, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth at the time I’ve gone without easy media watching instead, and tried all sorts of things.
Hopefully Jellyfin keeps improving. I’d rather donate to them every year than pay a sub to Plex.
Glad it’s worked for you though, and I mean that. When Plex worked for me, it was pretty good.
