I like how no one is mentioning that they removed the one time fees for their mobile apps to be able to play media at all. Also, only the server owner needs Plex Pass and anyone they share with can stream for free.
They are removing it to make money from a subscription instead. You're making it sound like they are doing something good!
Before everyone had to pay for the apps. Im not saying this change is good but it’s also not all bad.
How so? My friends need to use my account or else they need to pay to watch my movie? Did that change?
