Good Plex. They will also manage to start charging the other users of your instance at some point. The problem is not how ‘this feature is there", but how long until "this feature is now $X.XX’. They have been the slowest I’ve seen at enshitifying their service, but sure enough, they are doing it.
If and when Jellyfin has anything talking about paying for something (other than donations, evidently), I will be part of the warning crew as well. Plex never, as far as I can recall, had this level of clarity and transparency in terms of funding and budget.

Would be lovely if people could shut up about things that haven’t happened yet. Plex isn’t climate change, I’ll switch when it starts inconveniencing me.
Cool, that’s exactly how it should be. Do what you want when you want. I’m still not shutting up with my certainty that this will be the case, and it will happen when you least expect it while leaving very little time to do anything about it. Enjoy.
Lifetime pass purchased years ago and Plex manages sign-ins and connections for my less computer-savvy friends.

This same thing can happen to Jellyfin too. That’s literally what spawned it into existence.
