I got the pop up. I disabled it. But I just got an email from Plex telling me everything my family member watched in the last week. This is complete shit!!
You opted out, but they didn't
Which is still an issue. "Opting-out" means opting-out not halfway opting-in.
It's not perfect, but at least you're only seeing others' activity.
