Before everyone had to pay for the apps. Im not saying this change is good but it’s also not all bad.

How do you work that out?

I paid for the app so that I can play media on the go. Now that payment meant nothing and now they want me to pay a monthly fee instead.

Anyone new to Plex who doesn't want a subscription can only play media when they are at home. Whereas before it was a one time payment.

Jellyfin is the future. Plex is dead to me.
