The company has been affected by the downturn in ad markets.

Thirty-seven people were cut, and the layoffs affect every department at the company, according to a memo from the CEO.

    I’d be fine paying them a subscription fee, if they responded to our bug report and feature requests. That’s much more preferable than ads.

    Moved to Jellyfin last year after Plex started making some questionable moves. Only feature I miss is the intro skip.

    Plex is amazing. I got a lifetime sub 12 years ago and have no regrets. Hoping they can line up some good revenue streams and keep the great development going! I also use Jellyfin, for my my questionable content. 😄

      I understand the appeal of the large influx of revenue that a lifetime subscription offers a company; but boy does it sure seem short sighted. Surely they would be better off offering some type of discount on like a 2 or 5 year deal.

        Getting Plex Pass for 75 USD got me into the ecosystem. Now I promote and help support their product for free.

        Satisfied customers still provide value to Plex.
