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…

That’s not even accurate considering it’s possible to look at the friends of a “friend of a friend”. You can even just keep going down the chain of “friends of friends of friends”. [Untitled] A setting like this needs to be in the initial popup, not buried in the user settings.

Very simple. It’s a media player running on the TV to be used by people in the living room. I’ll probably rethink this but the splash screen came up for all users connected to the account so setting this for the minor sub-account would have been just as bad.

The only goal of that investment is to turn Plex,inc into a social media platform. CTO isn’t able to overrule CEO and the Board so it’s wise for him to remain silent. Espe…
