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.
There's hopefully a "discover" email notification you can disable. I haven't been bothered enough to check yet. Worst case, it could be filtered out pretty easily.
I thought I was opting out of my account and my server. But nope, Plex is scraping up everything that's on my server and shipping it in an email to other people including me.
