I’d say plex is up there. “Want to use your hardware and bandwidth to view your own files? Pay us!”
I'm down for paying for a piece of software. I bought a lifetime subscription back in the day I feel like until recently it served me pretty well. And to be fair they are caching the movie database, providing SSL keys, epg, low speed proxy through cgnat for people, there's quite a bit too there cloud operations that they do deserve money for.
What pisses me off is the mining of my watch habits, and the slow and enshitification of features.
14 years of lifetime Plex pass for $75, they don't really owe me anything, But I am moving on.
I'm slowly digging my way out of sights with algorithms, clawing my way out of Google is particularly difficult. I'm considering spinning my own Alexa with whisper
Yeah I'm increasingly unwilling to put up with subscriptions that arent reasonable. If you're selling a piece of software, I'll consider paying for it. I love foundry for that, its a vtt that I bought and it just works. They update it, but I don't expect or demand updates beyond keeping it working. And if they were to offer more features in the future with a new model I'd consider paying for the new model.
Nothing wrong with having to pay for software if the prices are reasonable. It's a product like any other, with real people working on it.
The shitty part is taking features people already had access to and locking them away all while spying on you.
