Wow.  Ouch.

For years it has been clear that Plex has chosen to maximize their profits at all times at he expense of their users. They really now show that the users are only there to act as stepping stones to the greater monetary rewards that is all Plex is interested in. As I an many other have said in some threads on the Plex forums Plex has become, apparently by their own choice, the Ferengi of the streaming world.

Some of the "rules" that Plex has applied to their business model.
#1: Once you have their money, you never give it back.
#10: Greed is eternal.
#21: Never place friendship before profit.
#45: Expand or Die.
#55: Advertise
#66: Double the price, then sell it half off.
#72: Never trust your customers.
#85: Never let the competition know what you're thinking.
#92: There are many paths to profit
#107: A warranty is valid only if they can find you.
#136: Seek profit first and everything else will follow
#152: A lie is a way to tell the truth to someone who doesn't know
#165: Never let your sense of morals get in the way of opportunity.
#188: A fool and his money are the best customer
#196: Listen to advice; then do what you want anyway
#232: Deal only with select clientele. (Those who are rich and not so bright.)
#247: Don't negotiate with the underlings.

And there are others that Plex has taken to heart.

I'm wagering you're going to see a mass exodus from Plex to Emby in the next few weeks.

This is likely my first post here. I've been a very quiet background Emby supporter for a long time, but it seems times, they are a changin' and I may likely migrate all of my users this way.
