The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Heads up! Plex is garbage and enshitefying their own services to make more money.

Heads up! Jellyfin is a great alternative!

It is working well for my purposes, but I suppose I may have recommended something without knowing this part of the story.

Don't feel bad. Plex is working wonders for me. Yea, there are things that annoy me about it, like the volume issues. But all in all, it passes the "wife test".

99.9% of the people here who trip over themselves to shit on Plex and recommend any other service that requires IT knowledge to consistently and easily give access to family members, don't have to deal with the "wife test". Substitute "wife" with husband or mom, or grandma.
