You can live in fear of your made up scenarios like this, but I'm just going to continue using Plex with my lifetime license.

I'm not afraid of the inevitable, man. We are having a conversation and I'm sharing my thoughts.

The point is that it’s not inevitable. You’re pretending/hoping it happens.

When our species was young, they didn't understand the movements of the celestial bodies. They believed a benevolent god made the sun rise every morning. Similarly, many people do not understand the workings of VC companies, so don't understand that there are certain actions they functionally must do because of the way they and the laws that govern them are structured, which include maximizing revenue at all costs in any way you can think of and get away with.

So, I don't think they're going to do it, and I certainly don't want them to just as I don't want the sun to stop rising, but I do know they will or go out of business/get bought on the way there.
