I left Plex when they added TV, because I felt the exact same way. It sucks to be right.

Listen when companies SCREAM at you that they are intentionally ruining their service and selling you out. This is Plex saying very clearly to the public, “it’s been fun y’all, but it’s time for you to find an alternative service, start migrating NOW because it’s only going to get worse from here”

Still the only self-hosted option that has a native app for my old ass TV so I’m not switching until it becomes more trouble than it’s worth or my TV breaks.

Yeah, this is why my lifetime licence will go unused in the future …

Don’t worry too much about it going to waste.
What usually happens next is that your “lifetime licence” turns into an “ohhhh that’s a licence for the OLD system. We’ve introduced Plex Ultimate 2000 It’s got all these great new features, and it’s only $3.95 a month. Don’t worry, we won’t forget our greatest supporters, whoever has a lifetime licence for the worn out, old system, their first year’s subscription will be 25 percent off, yaay!”

Well maybe I don’t really trust their products or their company with my data anymore and since you can’t run it entirely on premise, that’s about it.

Sadly some people won’t get the message until Plex starts providing their movie streaming habits to the RIAA for lawsuits.

By the gods are you serious?
Patches@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
No because the RIAA is only concerned with music.
Plex would provide your data to The House Of Mouse (Disney), Sony, Paramount, DreamWorks, etc…
