  The reason for cord cutting was because at $15 it was better than cable. This is cable that requires me to pay for internet. We’re at the point where the only option is to pirate.

  This headline should be edited to read: “Amazon decides to heavily promote Plex.”

    They are coming for Plex too, I fear it might be more insidious in that they will already have so much user data by the time they decide to flip the switch on people using it.

    I’m hoping jellyfin or emby get to the interface quality and platform support Plex has so there is a place to go when Plex gets sucked under the tide.

      Tell us more. My assumption is that Plex would lose 80% of its installed base within three months of selling to an established player.

      The one thing is could see happening is the streaming services, led by Amazon, working with Roku and the TV manufacturers to build in tracking of the video streams played over the device.

  Way too many studios think that money and bigger budgets are a substitute for quality writing and directing. They also know that a lot of people won’t accept higher monthly rates, so ads are the only way to offset the massively bloated production costs.
