minus-squareOderus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoIt’s deceptive because it leaves out the most important part. That is if you aren’t using the free version of Plex (AKA you have the lifetime pass), this doesn’t affect you. It’s a non-issue for anyone smart enough to get lifetime subscription.
