I remember being excited when it first came out, but then as we know capitalism happened and ruined it. Im all jellyfin now. But was plex originally starting out to be a good thing or was it just to trick us into being locked into their service after we all got on it?
Most things used to be good until upper management thinks they know best. Look at steam, once gaben is gone it’ll be ran by an ex ubisoft exec paying himself 5 million dollar bonuses and restricting/stealing your games back (I realize we dont own any games we buy on steam).
I mean, they built a whole NFT marketplace into it under Gaben.
You could argue that the next guy (if any) would be worse at making money from Steam than he is, I suppose.
Although admittedly their NFT marketplace went the same way all others did. I remember at the time people were shilling that stuff my go-to response to tell them why it’d fail was that Steam tried it and it all trended to zero.
