    You can’t say their service hasn’t gotten worse though :)

    I paid $75 USD, but they took my plugins, (pour one out for youtube on plex for my DanTDM obsessed kid back in the day) made my interface hard to navigate, try constantly to shove their own content down my (and my users) throats. Hey, remember when you used to have that sync feature that kept you up to date with a selection of titles, then you could use the client on your phone to serve to other phones even offline, god that was awesome with kids on vacation.

      How? What is hard to navigate in Plex?

      try constantly to shove their own content down my (and my users) throats.

      I assume you don’t know you can customize your home screen and menus? You can only have your own content showing if you want.

      I absolutely can. It has only improved since I’ve been using it, which is from the very start.

        How? What is hard to navigate in Plex?

        That last ui update was a open abomination and every plex forum out there was all over it, you can’t hide that by saying nuhhahhhh

        Since you’re so enamored with plex and I’m quite versed on it, Let’s talk about the horrors of plex

        They are collecting data on your and your friends, what you’re watching and what media you have. If the country or state you live and ever decide to go after pirates, they will absolutely hand that data over to whatever state wants it for a song.

        Using plex is selling your self and your family out.

        They have consistently removed features that people loved and used to focus on delivering you ad content and enshittifying the average experience until they pay. And how much are you paying to watch your own content? What other services could you be spending that on?

        I assume you don’t know you can customize your home screen and menus? You can only have your own content showing if you want.

        I assume you’re either shill for the company or an outright PR plant, that last ui change was pushed to put their content first. that’s BS. I had my stuff customized, I disabled their crap, they undid it again. My family had to have me go and dig through those tiny top menus on roku to find my own shares. The average person watching my stuff complained to me that i put ads in my stuff. that’s not by fucking accident, it’s a business decision to give me and mine worse content so they can make an extra buck off me. Every change they make is company first, every requrest we make is forums for user helpful change is years old.

        The whole company is absolutely horrible and selfish.

        I absolutely can. It has only improved since I’ve been using it, which is from the very start.

        How about give me examples instead of just shilling. The people here are owed the truth, not your company first attitude.
