I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.

No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

Monthly rates remain unchanged. The sales of lifetime passes at this point was pretty rare anyway. This affects practically nobody.

I see this as nothing more than an opportunity for those who hate and don’t use plex to complain over something that doesn’t and never will affect them.

But I suppose there’s nothing strange here about people complaining about a valuable paid service when a far inferior alternative is free.

Edit: ITT- jellyfin evangelists who will downvote anyone who disagrees with them and their Puritanical worldview

I don't even know what plex is but my god your comment smacks of brandbrained cope

[-] homes@piefed.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

What a nasty and horrible attitude.

Admitting your ignorance before making an ignorant comment does not imbue honor or value to it.

It will be a pleasure to block you

You know someone is cool when they take the time to tell you that they're blocking you.

I might remind you that something doesn't have to effect you to complain about it, it's called empathy

[-] homes@piefed.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Complaining about something that affects practically nobody isn’t empathy; It’s simply, ignorantly, screaming into the dark. Especially when that empathy is so selectively one-sided.

That said, empathy is a good thing, and I do not wish to discourage it. I certainly value empathy far more than either plex or jellyfin

Puritanical worldview

Feels like you're maybe blowing this out of proportion just a little

Can I have the number of your copium dealer?

It’s so nice when people just say “block me“

[-] meowcar42O@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

LMAO, dude's acting like he's the only one having the ability to block people and like it would seriously affect me. I mean it's a nice feature but why do you have to tell people, just do it qwq
