    “Wow, way to totally not read the room there Plex.”

    Don’t be so sure. My wife recently discovered that she enjoys watching eighties shows targeted to “The Silent Generation” while she works (background noise). Stuff like Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote. I loaded both those shows on my server but after multiple rewatchs she clicked on the suggested ad supported shows like Matlock and Columbo.

    Normally what happens is that she’ll watch the ad supported stuff for a couple of hours or days before she gets annoyed and moves on. If it was something she really liked, she’ll ask me to “find it” but most of the time a lot of the stuff on FAST is not worth the storage capacity. Still, it makes the company a few bucks and it prevents less than stellar media from being completely forgotten.

      Yeah, I guess I am making a sweeping generalization based on my use of plex, and my seething disdain of commercials. LOL.
