I don't understand how people feel good about the membership price increase trend.

Sunk cost analogue where if you pay 10 bucks, you don't notice them so you renegotiating with yourself 5 bucks increase as a new purchase, not the whole price.

Setting up plex is somewhat involved, you need at least nas, big hdd and some juggling around.
There are plex subscriptions (either a plex share or seed box), to avoid that hassle. Bit of a middle ground I suppose.
That's a good point, I guess people don't mind an occasional $1 or $2 increase but if they were told all of a sudden that the price was going to go up a lot they would leave and especially for many people who are already used to a certain service it's very hard to leave.
I just run Plex on my desktop, whenever I want to watch something pirated, I copy it over from an external HDD, start the server and watch on my TV.
