"A subscription"
Its the same Plex pass subscription for people who don't want to read a clickbait article.
That is not really covering the topic for everyone, this only covers the article for ppl who are paying already for the pass.
Not seeing how this is clickbait. The title sums it up on point.
"a subscription" is ambiguous as to whether it's being locked behind the existing Plex Pass or some new/additional subscription model. The title could have more accurately stated that remote streaming is becoming a Plex Pass feature. As is, Plex Pass users (many of whom bought the lifetime pass years ago,) can't tell from the title whether this is a new subscription cost or if they're completely unaffected.
"Clickbait" might be a little harsh, but I get where they're coming from.
I can see where they are comming from, but i do not understand it. Remote streaming was free and is now only available via a subscription or the lifetime pass. So it is locked behind a subscription. Ofc it is more nuanced, but the title expresses really cleanly what the topic is.
they could have very easily put "plex pass" in the title, or "paid feature". It's clickbait because it's clearly intentionally designed to be misleading so you have to click on the article to find the actual information.
How is it misleading? Plex Pass is a subscription? It would be confusing to many people if it said "Plex pass" instead of "Subscription" as not everyone would necessarily even know what that is. Subscription is very clear.
I think the disconnect here is a lot of people buy the "lifetime" Plex Pass, which is a one-time cost and not a subscription. Saying "X feature will be locked behind a subscription" implies some new pricing model and leaves users who paid a one-time cost years ago wondering if it's time to look for an alternative or if they're completely unaffected.
Something like that yes
Everything is clickbait, everything and everyone sucks, etc. To a large number of people here.

Title is not really deceptive or misleading.
I agree.
