I know that between the decision to drop the feature and the awful way it was handled (even looking for an announcement in my email I can’t find one), I’m spreading the word in my circles that Plex is so entirely focused on being yet another commercial TV streaming service that people shouldn’t bother signing up for it.
Someone above mentioned the amount of work they recently put into trying to make Downloads work, and they seem to be writing all of that dev time off. Well, the company went through a major executive change last year, and it looks like they’ve chosen a new direction for the platform.
It’s a shame because Plex started with groundbreaking technology and really interesting vision. Now it’s just pushing the commercial TV experience of the past.
