    As a lifetime owner, the number of features they’ve deprecated is probably the worst part.

    • Photo support (luckily Immich came along)
    • Tidal integration (no idea if that was Plex or Tidal’s decision)
    • Plugins (god forbid anyone add the functionality they keep removing)

    It’s close between that and the last app overhaul that removed a bunch of functionality.

      Watch Together isn’t removed, but it’s been deprecated and has stopped working on at least one platform (Chromecast).

      Really shitty move to be removing/deprecating functionality and then asking for more money.
