COD is pretty much just a huge confusing user interface with a bit of a game attached to it, released yearly. They for some reason force all assets for their online game to be installed if you install any cod game. It's ridiculous.

Here's a link directly from plex website.

Specifically, this bolded section:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS:
For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee.

Yep. But it gets called enshitification, yet the platform still scrapes Metadata reliably, still streams to any client reliably, and is still easy to share with friends and family wothout having to manage ip addresses or ddns. To me, the 'enshitifcation' people are complaining about is literally not wanting to support devs for a product that does what you need, well.

Not quite. Only if users want to stream from a server that doesn't have a plex pass, in which case the user needs a plex watch pass.

If you (the server owner) have a plex pass, all users (even free accounts) can stream from you without a pass.

If you (the server owner) do not have a plex pass, then the users need a plex watch pass to stream from you.

Essentially, they're making sure one side or the other has paid, but free to free is being stopped.

Local stream isn't affected by this either, only remote streaming. As someone who has had plexpass for 12 plus years, it doesn't affect me or my users.

Yes, because the core mechanics of their platform is media metadata management and streaming. As long as those work, and my users don't have to pay anything (because I have a plex pass lifetime already), then it has no effect on me or my users.

All that extra stuff can just be turned off.

Eh, tbh it still does the core basics of streaming my content and Metadata management, so I don't really care about enshitification of 'extra' features that I never use. It's still the easiest way to share media

Protesting absolutely has started, and look how that's going. Tribal instinct is the part of human nature that makes change when it's needed. It os part of human nature because no amount of talking is going to get a tyrant out of power.

Just watch when the next election is vastly different than what the US is expecting. Two of the branches of government are being completely bypassed. Congress is doing nothing, and judicial is powerless to enforce.

I'm sitting here in another country watching the great tower fall and all the excuses given to do nothing are astounding.

Fair point. I havent heard much or anything, really, about them.

My point is i don't think people need to run around and murder people, but an armed militia to forcefully remove the cancer might be needed, as allowed by law. Peaceful protests are not making a difference.
