Lifetime Plex for goes on sale a few times a year instead of $120 it goes down to like $75. Everybody (including me tbf) just waits a year until a sale and buys lifetime. I don't know why they keep offering deep discounts on their lifetime pass because their userbase has an upper limit - there's only so many people interested in running their own illegal piracy server
- shepherdjerred 4y ago> there's only so many people interested in running their own illegal piracy server The upper bound is roughly anyone who enjoys watching TV/movies, and owns a computer.
- thejman5200 4y agoYeah, that's the theoretical limit but you also need to understand VPNs, torrenting, local networks, etc. Plex/Jellyfin/Emby make it super easy on the network/port forwarding/GUI side but it doesn't help with the media itself. Or you could go with ripping dvds you legally purchase at Goodwill.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 4y agoIf all you want is a server-based DVR for OTA TV, you need to understand none of those things, but still need Plex Pass for guide data.
- ethbr0 4y agoBecause their lifetime pass is a good way to increase their customer base, who they'll then have to monetize... because they sold an ongoing service requirement for a lifetime price...
