I bought a lifetime pass a decade ago. This doesn't affect me, right? Not that it makes me want to stay.
if it's anything like our guaranteed 'price for life' internet from the phone company here--it lasts as long as they want it to.
(which, for our internet, was less than two years)
No it doesn’t change anything for lifetime pass.
Maybe it will in a few years, but not today.

Yet again, FOSS showing why it's always the way to go vs proprietary tech. So glad I started my self-hosting journey with Jellyfin!
The “Remote playback with a Remote Watch Pass subscription” just sounds like IPTV with extra steps. I’m kind of ok with them requiring Plex Pass for remote streaming for the server owner, but then I have lifetime so it doesn’t affect me. Might feel differently I was having to pay.
It also means they will now have official payment info to tie everyones identity to their Plex server. So if the cops come-a-knocking they'll be fully able to comply with information requests.
I mean, that's always kinda been the case. Plex uses their own infrastructure to do remote streaming, and that requires that they know your IP address, and therefore your ISP. I don't think this really changes much in regard to cops. If that's your concern, definitely don't use Plex.

Thus to all proprietary software!
Glad I moved to JellyFin years ago.
