I’m devastated! Holy fuck it’s the end of such a great resource. Is there any other plex share communities active at all?

    Yeah it’s just folks too lazy or unable to figure out how to pirate on their own, so some entrepreneurial pirates choose to sell slots on their personal media servers.

    I don’t get it.

      Curious what you don’t get? There’s always people will to make a quick buck even if it’s risky and there’s always lazy people who will pay money for convenience (hence why paid streaming is even a thing)

        I don’t get why people would pay a stranger and compromise their local security to access material they are 100% able to access themselves.

            i get it. i run my own plex server @60tb and counting. i don’t give strangers access and i think anyone invested in consuming media should be able to set up the content locally or pay the creator. i don’t understand people who pay a shlub to run radarr and plex on a random server adminned my a stranger.

            it’s idiots like OP that beg and demand free content in public spaces that end up spoiling it for the rest of us.

      I admin a Plex server for my friends and family. My mom doesn’t know how to pirate stuff so I mailed her a roku with my Plex already set up.
