I’ve been a Plexpass life member for decades now. And these emails will finish that. It is the embodiment of enshitification of a good product. Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to store this data in Plex databases and do anything with it?. There is a reason we are selfhosting…

This seems to be the new default. I just made a new burner account and ignored the prompts on app.plex.tv to “share with friends”. On second log-in, I go to edit profile and get this. I will be deleting this new account. On old versions of Plex Web (local) there are no prompts or ways to edit this …

ahh, interesting, but in that case too late for me as I have already deleted all my watch history. And the counters probably contain info from servers I no longer have access too (yep I used hetzner for a long time) I could request plex delete all my data, but it seems that will delete my whole ac…

If you remember what it was you watched, I believe you can search for it in the discover (specifically discover and not local server) and it will be marked watched there and you can delete it. That also means that there must still be a record of what you watched if you only delete/remove from “my wa…

Right? That is the most insanely alarming email I have received, from a service I value(d?). This is absurd. Plex has been increasingly adding features that make it less a service/platform and more a content aggregator/distributor/advertiser. I don’t want this. Plex has been a spectacular solution…

I share my server with three family members. I would like instructions - step by step -.on how to prevent these emails from been sent to me with info about what my users are watching and to my family members with info on what I am watching. Actually, disabling this monstrosity altogether once and f…

Per-user account settings These need to be repeated under each regular (i.e. not “managed”) user account. to disable the bar that says “Activity by X” on all your movie and TV show preplay pages: go here https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/online-media-sources and scroll down. Disable “DISPLA…

So, I have several dozen users. You’ve now enabled a feature that is terrifyingly invasive and must now be disabled per user? My God. What is happening at Plex HQ?

[image] OttoKerner: These need to be repeated under each regular (i.e. not “managed”) user account. Many thanks for your response, effort and patience. I don’t recall ever seeing such a convoluted procedure in my life.

Second this for the helpful response, I’m now sending it out in emails and DMs to people using my servers…

This is exactly how I feel… Hell I’d even pay to keep it “core” only. Just self hosted with updates to core to keep it secure etc.

So @plex I’d PAY to keep all those podcast, friends, free tv and music nonsense OUT of my server!!!
