Dump Plex, they already a lot less free than should be tolerated by self hosters.

In recent years, copyright holders have repeatedly requested Plex to take more action against piracy.

Their preferred method of logging into your own home server by going through their website should really give you pause when reading about how anti-piracy organizations pressure them.

Anonymous Data

In addition to the information described above, Plex collects anonymised data when users interact with our services. This includes:

• Server / library data
• DVR device information: manufacturer name and model

There have been numerous stories over the years about how anonymized data isn't really anonymous.

There was a thread on plex@lemmy.ml a few days ago with pic of the notice people are receiving.

Surely Plex can come up with a way to accurately identify those that are actually running dodgy paid servers against the TOS and leave the smaller guys alone.

I know the whole idea of the shared library is already pushing laws to the limit but those that are running large scale paid servers will eventaully ruin it for everyone.

Let's be honest, what Plex offers was too good to be true, and too good to last

Wasn’t it Plex that led to LastPass getting breached?

I mean, why isn’t everyone using open source at this point? Companies are just clamming to suck up as much money as possible from people still stupid enough not to learn from what every other company has done! 🤦‍♂️
