A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Sorry, why are we switching away from Plex because of this? Genuinely asking.

E: Wow at the downvotes to an honest question. πŸ₯²

Thanks. I understand this perspective.

So I read it and I still don't see the outrage.

It's in the second paragraph. This is the beginning of the monetization for everything in Plex now that they have a good user base. They are starting to ramp up the milking.

It will become like any other shitty streaming service eventually.

And? As long as I can watch my content, why should I care? It's a business with employees and they need to make money somehow.

If you cannot comprehend why people are outraged at a product they used getting degraded, not sure what to tell you.

It still does what it did when I started using it. What's the problem?
