Most sincerely: Fck. That. Sht.
I have a lifetime PlexPass. I didn’t get it at a discount (that I can recall), but at the time it was exactly what I needed for my tuner/DVR setup and I viewed it as a worthy investment even at the then full price.
I now understand that now that means I ain’t worth jack squat, but what the Plex overlords need to understand about a lot of us Elderusers is that if we walk, Plex gets NOTHING from us ever again, rather than whatever data mining and such they’re presently doing to harvest value from our viewing habits. Last time I checked something is worth a whole hell of a lot more than nothing.
For the love of Cthulhu and all who dwell in the briny depths, give us a “Legacy” option that just does tuner record, library management, and file playback… the only functions that matter. Harvest our viewing habit data. Extract whatever value from us comes that way. And leave us the f*ckity-frack alone.
I need another “social media” instance clamoring for run time on my mental System/38 like I need a fourth testicle. Some of us simply don’t and won’t use those features. I don’t think the reality of what a “great migration” would truly look like has sunken in yet with the Plex crew, but if they get taken by surprise by such an eventuality, it will not be because they were not warned.
This release is absolute crap, and because of Plex’s ineptitude, I’m now forced to have auto-updating turned off entirely on my iPhone. Absolutely ridiculous, and bordering on unforgivable!
Dassit, dassall.
