    Ooops, Plex just banned the server provider you were using, guess you’ll have to migrate it all at the drop of a hat.

        Nope, but they did make it so I get suggested streaming providers before my own bloody media. That’s why I switched to Jellyfin early this year. It’s rough around the edges but it’s functional.

        Also, if you think this take is edgy, you clearly didn’t read the article. They literally brought up this exact thing coming up on social media. They’re actively making a call for developers to help.

        Some people host their plex on a VPS (basically your portion of a server on a cloud that you can do whatever with) server and Plex recently banned a really popular one suddenly.

        Some people store their plex on a vps server, and plex recently banned the cheapest super popular one because some people were selling access to Plex servers on that host.

        It’s a very attractive option if all you want to host is Plex. What the average self-hoster pays for hardware + electrical would buy a lot of VPS time. It’s also money that’s spread over a longer period of time vs a large upfront cost.
