To anyone saying they're happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won't come for you too?
I paid 79€ almost a decade ago. I got more than my moneys worth. Even the current lifetime (on sale) is less than a year of Netflix. More expensive than piracy + Jellyfin ofc if that’s your benchmark 😀
I have a Jellyfin instance running anyway, I’ll switch to that if Plex enshittifies.
Anyone want to break the news?
So far the enshittification has not hit lifetime Plex pass subscribers
Introducing "Plex pass plus"! With no advertisements!
This is a "slippery slope' argument and thus a fallacy.
Let users decide how they want to run their own stuff. Right now if you have Plex pass this isn't an issue. If it becomes an issue, then you're in the exact same position you'd be in today if you decided to move away from Plex now.
I moved away from Plex years ago, but I don't blame users for sticking with it, it still has a lot of advantages over jellyfin.
EDIT: Y'all are trippin' over yourselves to complain about what other people choose to deploy on their own hardware.
Bought a lifetime pass, switched to Jellyfin after way too much Tidal promotion on my server.
But they haven't yet
I should not have paid for it.
Oh I'm fully aware I'm just to lazy to set up jellyfin and navidrome quite yet.
Have the lifetime since like 2012, every time a post like this surfaces I wonder if the contents of it are finally going to force my hand to use jellyfin instead
