      I paid for a lifetime Plex Pass years and years ago now, I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth.

      That being said, I fully expect more bullshit like this, up to and including ending my “lifetime” pass.

      When that comes to pass, I’m so glad Jellyfin will be available for me to use.

        Never EVER pay for lifetime subscriptions , unless you have lawyers on retainer.

              The word “lifetime”, when talking about permanent subscriptions, always refers to the lifetime of the service (or provider), rather than the lifetime of the subscriber.

              No, but to pay for a regular subscription in the time I’ve had it would have cost more money

          What they’re actually gonna do is release Plex 2 or something and then just invalidate all the old lifetime licenses, as they were for Plex and not Plex 2

        I am in the same exact boat. The PS5 is the media machine for us upstairs. I would switch to jellyfin if there was a PS5 client. Glad I’m not alone on this.
