Tell people what they are getting for that cost and what that money will do beyond infrastructure maintenance.

To be fair they did, to an extent:

@PlexInfo

The roadmap we’re working on is meant to improve the quality of life on our supported devices and continue to expand the features that we have and you use. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but some things that are coming:

• Improvements to Downloads, such as grouping by show and the ability to automatically download new episodes
• Support for Playlist creation and editing in the mobile apps
• Music and photo library support will be restored in the mobile apps and the new experience on TV apps.
• Support for NFO metadata
• All server and library management features currently available on app.plex.tv will be added to the mobile apps (and TV apps where it makes sense)
• Audio enhancements such as boosting dialog and normalizing loudness
• Additional transcoding video improvements
• IPv6 Support

I’m sure it’s not exhaustive, and it doesn’t include all the bullet-points in which you’re specifically interested, but they did provide at least a portion of their roadmap which should be interesting to personal media users. (I’m personally interested in IPv6 support.)

Also, I’m not trying to dismiss your point that Plex could garner some goodwill by providing some additional roadmap info. I’m just not sure everyone read past the “price is increasing” part of the announcement.
