Sorry I don't buy it. It stinks of puppeting for rights holders. I moved to Jellyfin as soon as that story broke. I've been a Plex pass user for over 10 years (albeit lifetime single purchase) and the only thing I miss is in-TV subtitle search.
You seem really sensitive to this.
Yes. Plex have access to my content, my usage history, my personal details, etc. Giving that sort of information away and trusting a for-profit company to do the right thing is naive at best. I feel happier now that the system is behind closed doors, even if I do miss out on a feature or two.
Not really. Are you mixing my response up with others? I voiced an opinion, that was all.
You sure are incredibly trusting and protective of Plex. For a closed source system, unless you work for Plex, you are spreading misinformation by denying opinions contrary to your own. I would think myself naive to continue to trust in a company showing themselves to be taking action in favour of copyright holders.
And you're incapable of having an informative discussion without resorting to insults. Blocked.
You know what, fuck this, you guys can all go with the narrative of 'plex is cracking down on pirated content and can see what you have on your server'. Have fun.
