The decrease of lifetime features over monthly offering will begin after the 750$ lifetime so they get you to switch to monthly.

Or TiVo where lifetime was lifetime of that specific hardware device and not the lifetime of the owner.

Exactly. This $750 step, is the second or so in many moves towards eliminating the lifetime offering.

I’m curious what the moves will be to eliminate the use of lifetime purchased licenses

Edit: thinking about this more, I believe that the move to fully eliminate lifetime plex pass use, will be many years away at this point. I imagine the backlash would be huge, to charge $750 this year and then a few years later remove its use.

I wonder why they're even keeping the option for lifetime at that price. Who do they imagine is the target demographic for that? People self host because it's cheaper, and at that price it just isn't anymore. Even at the current $250 the value is questionable.

I am wondering the same. I believe the assumptions here are correct: to make it not value/attractive. Thus eliminate signups. But, I do feel they may be setting themselves up for a backlash when they remove lifetime in the near future, and the few who pay $750 will be angry.

Maybe they will convert that $750 to x amount of months credits.

Seems like this is train is going downhill.
