I paid... $74.99 for a lifetime plex sub in 2014. Is this the same service?
No it's worse. Old accounts are grandfathered in to downloads when a library is shared with another user. Otherwise the library recipient needs a plex pass too.
Yes, if you bought the lifetime pass years ago, you still have it. This price increase only affects people who don’t already have a lifetime pass.
Afaik, if you didnt have the lifetime pass
That's what their email said. So my understanding is I must have been grandfathered into the pay one time and have it forever thing.
yup
