My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What's the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven't found a good community here.

Wait, people get on to strangers plex accounts? Like for money or something?

Bro, pirate your own movies and provide your Plex access only to your friends, friends friends, friends friends friends, coworkers, and family, as god intended.

Especially if you're friends have servers then you can cross share to have more coverage and backup

I also was not aware that people would pay strangers to use their plex servers. Im not surprised plex is going after them. They are threading a very fine line already.
