I put this in /s/streaming but was conflicted on it. It could have gone in a few other places but I guess this one technically makes sense. I have used plex for a long time and bought a "lifetime" pass when it was "cheap". It's nice to be able to easily share with friends and family that are kind of dumb with computers and they can stream from my library. There are plenty of better systems if you are just using it for yourself or are willing to be tech support for people that have a hard time with a regular tv remote.

The company is also making remote playback of personal media a paid feature, introducing a Remote Watch Pass subscription at $1.99 monthly or $19.99 annually for users who don't need full Plex Pass features, and removing its one-time mobile activation fee.
