My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What’s the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven’t found a good community here.

    Plex got in bed with the devil when they started moving to hosting content with their free stuff. Now content creators have leverage over them.

      Yeah content creators have leverage over them because they give Plex money. I would wager the vast majority of Plex users don’t have Plex pass. Also the fact that they have a lifetime subscription means there are people who could be paying but aren’t anymore. So they need some sort of way to get more recurring revenue.

      I’d much rather they include some free programming I can ignore than do something like take away my lifetime pass and make me start paying monthly again like a lot of places have done.
