[In 2020,] At the request of a fan named Joe, Plex Labs quickly put in some long hours creating a way for the world to watch together when circumstances kept us apart. It wasn’t perfect, but this experimental feature created human connection in a time when we needed it most…
Now, five years later, we are nearing the official release of our new Plex experience that will bring us closer together than ever before. We’ve spent two years rewriting our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before.
So the official answer is that the new Plex is that the best way to bring people together is to get rid of the feature that brings people together and replace it with the universally beloved new Plex Experience application.

On the one hand, it’s a little hard to believe a human being could have so little dignity as to write something like the above-quoted text.
