    Lol. A lifetime subscription for a singular one time payment is a bad deal in any service that requires upkeep. That’s what makes it so enticing to people generally.

    I paid for a lifetime plex membership in 2014. It’s was $74.99. The use I have gotten out of it in the last 11 years has to have cost the company more than if I was a paying subscriber who paid a monthly fee.

    When I say “can’t afford” I literally mean it costs the company money to keep providing these services over time. I have services available to me from my “subscription” that don’t even exist in the current offering.
