  I'm a huge and longtime Plex fan but $750 for a lifetime plex pass is just begging people to pay $70 a year or move to Jellyfin.

  Plex Lifetime Pass is going to triple.  You have until July to get the old price ($250) before it vaults to $750.  —  I think I paid $120 and not even that long ago.  This is fucking grim.  —  www.plex.tv/blog/new-lif...

  I bought a lifetime pass to Plex in '22 to make my collection of bootleg music playable on Sonos. @grateful-dead.bsky.social anyone?  I pd $125 then.  Don't regret but no way it's worth $750 today. @jellyfin.org looks mighty good right about now. @chatter.techmeme.com www.techmem…

  So incredibly ready to ditch plex.  $750 for what exactly?  For transcoding my media?  No that happens on my hardware.  Oh for storing my media?  No, also on my hardware.  —  Oh I know.  They must have bandwidth costs.  Wait no they use my bandwidth.  —  Anybody have any idea wtf…

  Plex has turned itself into a poster child of enshittification and greed.  —  This is one reason why Jellyfin is becoming the best home-media software for so many people.  —  https://9to5mac.com/...

  Important Jellyfin pricing news: the monthly subscription remains $0, the lifetime pass remains $0, and the software is a whole lot less enshittified than Plex.  —  https://www.plex.tv/...
