Wow, I got the Plex pass 15 years ago for like $70.
It is absurd to see it is over $700 dollars now.
I imagine it's to discourage the purchase of plex life time. But there's something about this that is feels so bad man.
I have spun up Jellyfin to run alongside Plex and I'm ready to switch over full time in case Plex ever goes after the old life time users. You just never know with these days.
And tbh, Jellyfin is pretty awesome. It seems to run lighter and faster than Plex. Nobody should be buying a $700 pass to watch your own content.
Its way too hard to make plex work without internet
