I know Plex gets a lot of crap here, but they have done me no wrong allowing me to simply play the music I like. Spotify is ruining artist discovery, which is exactly how radio became the shithole it is now. At least Pandora leads at artist discovery.
Where? All I do is see people shilling plex as a replacement for streaming services without mentioning you have to buy the fucking content to put on the server.
You know that's not how people are filling their servers, right? Plex is a way to manage and stream your pirated media collection, though Plex will never admit that.
So... it's good advice to the streaming crowd who is inherently tech-illiterate to not only recommend they set up a fucking server, but also get a VPN?
Jeez. Just recommend them a free streaming site at that point.
But the 🧩's among you won't accept that.
