So instead of retiring it, we’re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we’re committed to building and maintaining for years to come.

I left Plex because of exactly this. What exactly have they delivered lately to actual users that isn't BS cloud streaming stuff?

    Oh god I remember that. No one asked them to and they burned a ton of money to do it, shipped buggy, and arguably the design was worse.

    @scrubbles @plex and all of this time since, they’ve still not put out the updated version of the Apple TV version which has been problematic for so many years with audio/video sync issues, etc.

    Bought a Plex Pass when it was $100. Pretty decent at the time, much easier to get the family hooked up to that vs Jellyfin.

    And every change they've made - especially adding their own completely trash streaming library - has taken value away from that pass.

    Agree, I still have my $100 pass too, but it just got to the point where I couldn't justify it anymore. I got almost ten years out of that pass, I consider that good. 10 dollars a year to support their development. Then their development stopped being for server owners like me, and I knew it was sadly time to move on.
