It’s weird to me too. I consume a decent amount of media but if I can’t think “oh yeah I want to watch this particular thing” I just don’t download it and it falls out of my brain. Which I’m fine with. Foundation was like that, and His Dark Materials. I guess I would have finished them if they downloaded automatically but they were kinda lame.

I guess I just consume media more haphazardly than most people. The whole point of my PLEX is only exactly what I’ve requested shows up.

To be clear, the *arr suite of apps don’t just download things randomly. You still only get what you request. You just don’t have to go download a new TV show episode every week or keep an eye on exactly when the new movie hits the shelves.

You just tell the apps ‘follow this tv show/movie/whatever’ and it grabs it when it becomes available.
