Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

    I already paid when it was cheap. I’ll stay and get my full dollars worth and then some. I paid for it, I’ll use it. When it is unusable I’ll bail. Anything else is stupid.

      What you are saying is called sunk cost fallacy. A notoriously common stupid way of thinking.

      The logical way to think of this is: You already paid for Plex so both are free for you. Since both are free, just pick the better one.

        I wouldn’t call it “stupid way of thinking”. That sounds almost offensive, while it’s just a common fallacy that affects most humans.
