The “additional social features” is the main issue, but their UX/UI redesigns haven’t been the greatest either. The Plex interface used to be much more customizable, but that was changed, too.
But back to the main issue: the “social features”. Much like the last anti-privacy change, social features are just a means to harvest & sell data. That’s always been the case. So more social features isn’t remotely a positive step and seems far away from what Plex’s original goals were.
Combine that with how the last change was an opt-out and with countless settings buried within sub-menus and random other pages, these planned changes look to follow that path… and it’s not a good one.
A UI/UX redesign talked about in the same breadth as social features implies that the two are linked in some form.
