Wait, does this mean that personal media is in a single "tab" that we now have to navigate from the main page, instead of currently where the main page and personal libraries are broken out? That would be a pretty awful change.
Also, who cares about the friends and watch history? Does anyone use that?
The watchlist (assuming this is your "bookmark to watch" section, not the recent content section) is in "prime real estate" now, even though I never use it?
It sounds like - as with the last few major updates - they're building apps for the users they want, not the users they have.

I just installed it out of curiosity. The watchlist is the page that has your up next stuff in the first line, then like new movies added to your movies library, new shows in your tv library, etc. The discover section is what you’re talking about, and it’s still on its own discrete section.
Thank you for installing and reporting back.
I just tried the TestFlight preview. The main page was full of junk when I first loaded it, but I went to the library tab and set my personal libraries in the order I want and my main page is back to normal.
Thanks, that's not too bad. I am used to spending 5-10 minutes at this point debloating/disabling junk on a new Plex install, I just hope it doesn't keep getting much worse.
Yeah, I think if you’re familiar enough with Plex, it’s not a huge deal. But I did find myself annoyed at how much more difficult it’s going to be to onboard all my friends who use my server and get the update (as well as new people).
