I paid 79€ almost a decade ago. I got more than my moneys worth. Even the current lifetime (on sale) is less than a year of Netflix. More expensive than piracy + Jellyfin ofc if that’s your benchmark 😀

I have a Jellyfin instance running anyway, I’ll switch to that if Plex enshittifies.

You are entirely entitled to do whatever you want, but for me I go into a towering rage when something I own is taken over for someone else's ads.
