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…

How can the plex team be so stupid? Seriously. Legitimate question.

The usual answer is that it’s not the whole team, it is a single executive, who probably got all this same feedback from his or her own team before going forward with it anyway.

Yeah, go ahead and re-write that such that a grandmother can understand. Far too confusing and doesn’t answer any concern. I find it cute that you aren’t logged into your real plex-inc account and you are using a shared account. What are you afraid of?

Why was I automatically made “friends” with everyone I share my server with? And no, there was no separate option to add the sharee as a friend when I added them. How is that opt-in? When will these privacy controls be added to localhost browsing of Plex via the web?

Astonishing how Plex approach development of software I have been using for more than a decade. Moreso since the VC. There are well documented serious flaws and failures on various clients that Plex need to resolve but for the most part have just ignored. No, they focus on introducing personally i…
