It's really satisfying having someone to share your collection with. I moved in with my now-fiancée late last year and it's so fun watching it grow to suit us both. Currently still using Plex since there isn't a Jellyfin client for the Xbox One and we have yet to get a Shield or something else superior to it, and I don't feel like figuring out the networking side of things until we're at our next apartment.

Ditto. I started my Plex server about 11-12ish years ago for myself and my wife. Nowadays we're sharing 30TB to almost 20 of our combined friends and none of em pay for subscriptions anymore lmao.

Yuuuuup, same. I do wonder though how much longer we’re gonna be able to get away with it though.. the sharing I mean. I know my wife and I can always have things here locally, but we’re definitely at the mercy of Plex eventually shutting down their sharing capabilities

Technology and piracy always will find a way. Even if Plex goes tits up, we have options with Jellyfin and Emby. Sharing may not be great or even possible in some or all circumstances, but I'm sure if Plex shuts down today they'll go into overdrive to bring things more up to speed since there'll be a real need for it. If not, someone else will come up with something to replace it, or something new.

Hell only reason I started using Plex in the first place was because I was using Universal Media Server and was tired of putting up with it's shit. Only reason I was on that was cause I was tired of Playstation Media Server beforehand, and if I hadn't smoked my brain cells away I'd tell you the same thing for whatever I used before that too lmao. We'll always find new ways to pirate, and to share that content. Plex just became so commonplace cause it's so damned easy and (..mostly..) works well.
