Plex keeps getting worse, and it’s probably time I abandon the platform despite paying for the lifetime PlexPass. I just tried to see what’s available instead of what’s on deck and noticed it’s mostly all advertising now. I don’t want that. Specifically I detest: The annoying ads for “What’s on N…

I’ve tried most alternatives, and for what I want Plex does it the best. Emby was second, JellyFin seemed unpolished and Kodi is a different animal requiring a different approach and not what I wanted. I’ve had Plex about 10-years now and it’s gotten better. I’ll try to respond to your detest ind…
