The prices aren't that bad. What is bad is the direction plex is going as a company.

I recently tried using the new Roku interface and holy fucking shit I've never wanted to buy a new TV and switch off of plex more in my life. Plus no /link or qr sign-in option? I am never. Ever. Going to use that app. Ever. My only hope is that it's not a sign of what's coming to other platforms, but if it's not, then they are ok having inconsistent UX across platforms which is also concerning.

It's obvious that plex is actively making user hostile choices in favor of short term profits.
