I grabbed a lifetime pass for $99 many years ago and have certainly gotten my moneys worth. Hopefully they will keep honoring existing passes.

Has there been any indication that they may gate new versions or features behind more expensive plex pass subscriptions?

I haven’t heard about anything like that.

But I do hear about campaigns focused on members with poor account hygiene and afaik they get their accounts terminated.

It's already bad enough they took offense to people hosting in Hetzner (yes, I'm one of the many that hosts in a DC instead of at home).

Sorry I didn't want the server overhead in my house, eh?
