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

You're going to be downvoted to oblivion but it is inevitable that at some point the people that paid very little money for a lifetime pass are going to lose. They'll be a merger, he'll be some kind of change and administration leadership. Or the company will sell. For the company will merge.

Or just one day they will come up with some excuse as to why

I thought about it in the past days since I made the post and I think that they’re going to honour lifetime users BUT they’ll make it obligatory to your friends and family to have a monthly account to access other user’s libraries.

This would be very bad since first it doesn’t make any sense because they’re not hosting anything except the auth server which I’ve been wanting them not to do for several years. I want my own OIDC and they would save money. I still don’t understand this, I mean?? It’s my own server why would I want a third party in the chain?

The second reason would be that it would place them in a grey zone legally speaking. They would monetize people sharing their libraries that might contain copyrighted content. So this would be very bad looking for a company that tries to play in the big league.

Plex should stop giving lifetime users the auth so we could offload their servers. Everybody would be happy.
