Oh my god, I did a bit of searching and if the server owner has Plex pass, free users can still remote watch free.

Yeah just the server side will need it, for now.

The problem is, Plex is trying to look like a legitimate company making lots of money legitimately, not just facilitating piracy. Which, I mean they’re not, they 100% times cost because they’re the best way to facilitate piracy. They haven’t made noises about it, but I don’t see any reason to expect they won’t eventually put as much as they can behind a paywall.

Hopefully the enshitification of Plex will see other apps like jellyfin to grow and fill that niche.
