Existing Lifetime Plex Pass memberships are unaffected by the upcoming price hike; if you already locked in your sub at a lower rate, you won’t have to pay any additional fees, and your service isn’t changing

For now.

It’d be mildly annoying to have to switch to Jellyfin, or some other option, but I have no qualms ditching Plex if it turns to crap. Don’t ever give into the sink cost fallacy.

I moved to Jellyfin a while back and I've really enjoyed it. Maybe not better, but on par with Plex in most respects.

That's the thing: it doesn't have to be better since it's 100% free. It could be considerably worse and still be the better choice for the price.

The fact that it's mostly on par is absolute gravy.

Very good point. I definitely moved over in protest of Plex's rug pull, so fuck them.
