I'm devastated! Holy fuck it's the end of such a great resource. Is there any other plex share communities active at all?

ELI5 what Plex Sharing is? Is it "stealing" of media files on unsecured PLEX servers? People freely offering of media hosted on Plex servers? And why Plex of all things anyway?

Edit: We ARE talking about the media server software, right?

Yeah it’s just folks too lazy or unable to figure out how to pirate on their own, so some entrepreneurial pirates choose to sell slots on their personal media servers.

I don’t get it.

I admin a Plex server for my friends and family. My mom doesn't know how to pirate stuff so I mailed her a roku with my Plex already set up.
