Plex: requires external account to use their self hosted software.

Also Plex: oops lol

I'm less fussed about a data breach that might require a password change than I am that 3rd parties have access to internal databases. Play history and library contents could be a lot of trouble for folks if that data is ever breached (assuming it is even kept by PleX which I hope it isn't).

I just need Plex to survive until I can replace it with Jellyfin.

I really don't understand all the hate. It's like this weird echo chamber where everybody's like fuck it I'm gone! Like you're all just waiting for a fucking reason to switch if you want to switch switch. Personally for people like me without the time or inclination Plex is a fucking godsend. So I have to change my password big deal.

Just deleted my account.

It's unfurtunate that Jellifin or Emby is not available on as much smart TV platforms as Plex. I tried Emby years ago and it was close to Plex ease of use, but it was still fairly new and not quite there and hopefully a lot better now.

When this happens, I always forget to change the password through the server/localhost URL. Always gets confusing when I don't.

Still gonna use plex. Still gonna lol at jellyplebs.
