Sunk cost is more then just money... Every reply here is some variation of "i would switch but i have all my ratings and users settings in plex already and dont know how to migrate"
Which i can understand paying because you dont have time, i just also think its foolish to pay for a service like plex when the main use case is piracy, something a company like plex clearly can not continue to support legally forever.
Eventually the big media corps will decide they need to end all library sharing options and plex will not be able to win that fight.
