Being upset with Plex because of what they’re doing with their prices is totally a legit gripe. Suggesting Plex is shitty is silly. It works great, it’s simple for boneheads like me, and if you paid $70 or whatever a decade or so ago, it’s been a phenomenal deal. I’m using it right now, I use it on a weekly basis at the very least, and it’s super art it and forget. I have a media library on my PC, when I add to it I just right click the taskbar icon and “update libraries,” and that’s it. It requires next to no fiddling, it runs perfectly, it finds subtitles automatically, it does the whole metadata thing automatically. It’s great, I have zero complaints.
But yeah, $700 or whatever is crazy talk. But $70 was awesome.
I asked what the paid benefits were vs the free version. Everything you described is in the free version. Hence why I’m not sure why I ever paid in the first place. I don’t think I ever used any of the paid features.
I apologize, I didn’t understand that to be the meaning, maybe I gotta read better. I don’t have an answer. I can’t remember what prompted me to grab a lifetime pass. I have to assume there’s some benefit, and that it was obvious to me at the time.

Yea I still have a free server going and never hit a paywall.
