I wonder if this violates the ADA Accessibility Standards.

That is one of things that annoy me so much. The old version did it better.

Been with Roku for years. Have a lifetime membership since 2021. Since Plex decided to completely change the Roku App….I am totally disgusted! It is the worse app ever now!! I am now going to either use Emby or better yet open source Jellyfin. Taken me years to compile my libraries. Just to find out in the Roku Plex app that it is basically USELESS and I am pissed 
. Yes…Plex must have gone WOKE and put some DEI person in charge and they ruined for it EVERYONE. There WAS nothing wrong with…Now you have lost me as a supporter and user of Plex. Good Riddance! So….Either you restore the app within 7 days or I AM GONE.!!
What does DEI and “woke” have to do with this? Even being one of the staunchest advocates for switching back to the old interface your ridiculous statements make me roll my eyes.
Obviously your mother took Tylenol and vaccinated you frequently.

LMAO the exec. team is whyte… shut it with your political nonsense
No, they should get sacked, just like the genius that alienated 99% of Bud Light’s customers.
There’s no reason to bring this political BS into this conversation.
Anheuser-Busch overestimated their customers’ tolerance of modern society. Sadly, they were mistaken.
Plex released an interface change that requires some adjustment, without documenting it at all.
They’re two very different things. The mental gymnastics required to conflate them baffles me.

Plex automatically “updated” my Roku app tonight and it absolutely sucks. I can no longer delete crap the f-tard software designers addded, and my Music library no longer appears on the page. Navigating the new version requires lots of clicks, and having everything on the top of the page sucks. Clearly, the folks who own Plex are trying to make this a one-size-fits-all, do everything launch page. YOU FAILED MISERABLY!!! I am now hunting for a Plex replacement and will advise anyone who asks to NOT get a Plex Pass. The company is clearlly run by idiots.

It impacts me as well, and I’ve been complaining for months about it.
The layout is less effective, period. He’s not the only person suffering from it. It’s great that you don’t have an issue and that at worst the layout is “same but different” for you, but for people who organize their media into more categories, it’s a pain. There’s nothing better in the new layout.

It took me almost a full day’s worth of work to switch to Emby and I had to buy their lifetime pass even though I already had a lifetime Plex pass. Turns out it’s a ton faster because they’re not trying to force a bunch of low budget streaming on me. If I were you, rather than spending any more time trying to get Plex to pay attention to you, I’d invest that time into switching to Jellyfin (free) or Emby now.
It was a big mental hurdle recognizing that Plex doesn’t care about their users after having used their products for over a decade. If you look at all of the activity in their forums you’ll see that so many people are angry with the update and Plex has completely ignored every single one of them.
