Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

    I’m not switching at this time because I already bought a lifetime pass about 7 years ago. If ANY of my functionality gets changed by Plex then I’ll be switching

      They already changed the authentication system a few years ago. Everything goes through their server now. You can’t self-host it.

        Running Plex locally is still perfectly viable without going through their servers

          They can’t because they’re just plain wrong. I’ve been self-hosting Plex (lifetime pass) for years so idk what they’re on about

        I don’t know what this means and maybe I’m just not techy enough, but all my shit is on my PC, and if my PC is turned off it doesn’t work. Are you saying it goes through their servers? I’m just curious why it matters.
