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

Community can’t grow if you don’t tell people where to go.

ELI5 what Plex Sharing is? Is it “stealing” of media files on unsecured PLEX servers? People freely offering of media hosted on Plex servers? And why Plex of all things anyway?

Edit: We ARE talking about the media server software, right?

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 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.

People rent out access to their plex servers. Some hosted at home, others in paid server space. What media is on them is up to whoever manages it.
