    I quit when they announced it, their announcement made me dust off my raspberry pi, got a 1tb SSD, and install Plex media server.

    Their content has been in a free fall for ages, along with non stop price increases.

    I only kept it because my mum and brother also used it, and it was convenient, now they just ask me to download the shows and movies they want and watch it from my Plex server.

      Not everybody knows how to use a Pi+Plex or has a friendly familiy member who knows that and is willing to share.

      So it makes sense that most people just kept hanging on until they got booted, rather than preemptivelly dusting off their old wooden leg and eye patch and once again hoisting the Jolly-Roger…

        Yeah I get that, it’s a shame because it’s super cheap and the guides online make it easy as hell to set up. But I understand that terminal is scary for some
