It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want.

Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good.

I’m in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin?

P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I’m not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service

    Ah, and get outta here with this entitled attitude. I want to pay someone for something I can do myself: setup a Linux machine with a torrent, a movie organizer, and a jellyfin server. Easy. But maintaing it just eats too much time, which I don’t have.

    Forget the legal risk, it’s laughable. And with a properly located server no one will even ever bother figuring out who’s running it.

      If maintaining a server eats too much time, why on earth would someone do it for you for just $10 per month?

          bingo. Why is it such a difficult concept. It makes sense to centralize work, that’s it.
