there are a lot of us still on Plex that hadn't reached the threshold of issues vs effort that would motivate us to migrate to something like jellyfin.

looks like we've arrived.

    I already have a lifetime Plex pass so this isn't an issue for me. 6 months from now when Plex decides my lifetime pass has a new expiry, then I'll be motivated.

    I have the lifetime pass, bought it for like $80 many moons ago.

    looks like we’ve arrived.

    Agreed, this is the tipping point. This is where we will see Plex start to abandon the lifetime pass in favor of "imaginary money line go up forever" subscriptions.

    I haven't. I bought lifetime Plex Pass something like 15 years ago. A price change doesn't effect me. It's all their shitty updates and removing of features that makes me keep an eye on Jellyfin. I already have a sync setup for my watch status and a couple of my main users. Jellyfins apps are still worse.
