Plex, this is permanently ruining user engagement for a lot of novice users. They don’t see the “library” tab and assume that the recommendations screen is the only way to access the (few) media listed there. They simply assume the Plex server lacks adequate media, and stop using Plex after that.
Please allow server admins to disable the recommendations tab for individual libraries, or define the default tab for users.
The recommendations tab doesn’t make sense anyway, it’s just duplicating what already exists on the home screen. and effectively masks off 90%+ of the available media from casual users.
You’ve already said that these changes won’t be made, as evidenced by this mod post., but it’s clearly desired by the users for years - as evidenced by this recent Reddit thread with 500 votes, and even this 4 year old post with 400 votes.
What is a realistic step users can take, short of “cancel plex pass memberships” that would influence Plex to change course, accept the criticism and take action?
