I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.

No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

    You know that even if you paid that ridiculous amount, it still wouldn’t be the last time they try to get money out of you, either.

      After 16 years of having a lifetime pass (and nearly 20 years of administering multiple Plex servers), I know this to be false. And, unless you have one yourself, you could not possibly know. Especially because, with a lifetime pass, there’s no other way that could possibly ask for money from a user. It’s literally impossible.

      But, if I’m wrong, show proof of your lifetime pass, and the solicitous emails you received subsequently. I know you can’t.

      If you’re going to speak from such obvious ignorance, it should be easy to admit when you’re wrong

      Most Lemmy users, however, never find such a thing so easy…

        I think it’s more that they’re implying the company is likely to get worse in the future and start trying shit, not ehat they’ve already experienced. The price now being nearly 10x what it once was is a pretty big red flag, after all.
