Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

To anyone saying they're happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won't come for you too?

I paid 79€ almost a decade ago. I got more than my moneys worth. Even the current lifetime (on sale) is less than a year of Netflix. More expensive than piracy + Jellyfin ofc if that’s your benchmark 😀

I have a Jellyfin instance running anyway, I’ll switch to that if Plex enshittifies.

if Plex enshittifies.

Anyone want to break the news?

So far the enshittification has not hit lifetime Plex pass subscribers
