Nah, actually we as the plex community need to pull our heads out of our asses and remember that the internet was doing just fine before cloud service providers came along.

If you're not self-hosting, it's not your server.

    Pirates will move to self hosted if they can still turn a profit, which they can.

    Self hosting is easy and convenient and doesn't require a lot of technical knowledge. Plex are literally harming their own business model by driving away non-technical users with a sledgehammer solution that no one likes.
