The linked thread is such a good example of why I quit reddit, the discourse is often so frustratingly stupid, there are always contrarians acting like "they shouldn't ban you for X"="they can't ban you for X", and then there's the unnecessary whining about upvotes and downvotes.
Plex is such a weird project though, they should've been able to see that they'd have to start clamping down on the sharing as they went in the direction of being a more typical streaming service. I wonder, did they think that their users would just accept that? or did they figure that they could pull in more typical users fast enough to sustain themselves?
My personal Plex server is just single user and I only connect to it from my own desktop, phone, tablet or laptop, so I'm not too worried. I wouldn't mind using jellyfin for video, but for music I haven't really come across a player comparable to plexamp. The AI driven "DJ" options are a very nice idea.
