      There are two ways to increase profits:

      1. Charge more for the same services
      2. Remove services or features from paid subscriptions

      Plex has done 2 a few times now.

      If you like being told you can stream remotely and then later have the feature yanked and slapped behind a paywall, then by all means use Plex.

      You can’t say their service hasn’t gotten worse though :)

      I paid $75 USD, but they took my plugins, (pour one out for youtube on plex for my DanTDM obsessed kid back in the day) made my interface hard to navigate, try constantly to shove their own content down my (and my users) throats. Hey, remember when you used to have that sync feature that kept you up to date with a selection of titles, then you could use the client on your phone to serve to other phones even offline, god that was awesome with kids on vacation.
