Wait, do you store your plex media in the cloud? I didn't even know that was an option...
Some people store their plex on a vps server, and plex recently banned the cheapest super popular one because some people were selling access to Plex servers on that host.
It's a very attractive option if all you want to host is Plex. What the average self-hoster pays for hardware + electrical would buy a lot of VPS time. It's also money that's spread over a longer period of time vs a large upfront cost.
