Disgusting!

Take my money then track me. I think not. Good thing jellyfin is better anyway. See ya plex. Either my money OR tracking (and I don’t use you). Jabbing me from both ends is unfair kind of like a sick predator. Go play with your billionaires. I am out!

Garbage UI

Switching to Emby. Plex doubled down on a fundamentally broken UI. None of my family knows how to use this app and I’m finding myself to be tech support every other day.

Best way my friend described it is “something is always wrong and I started to feel bad asking for help”
