Plex is closed source and gradually being enshittified. You might not leave today, but you should have an exit plan.
I've been using Plex for over 10 years and I can't say anything about it has changed for the worse honestly
Same. I think I had to go in once in the last few years to turn off a new setting. I didn't recall what is was though. Probably data collection?
Maybe when Plex added the "Discover Together" feature that shares watch history with friends?
Yeah, I don't 100% love that's on my default but I also don't think it's a huge deal
That's the one!
They changed their logo gasp
