The very concept of charging a subscription fee to access your own media rubs me the wrong way. This is anathema to the whole self-hosted ethos and an attempt to avoid the rising costs of music and video subscription services. If Netflix isn’t getting my money for original programming, I’m certainly not giving Plex cash to re-watch my old spaced DVDs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let me be clear: I’m all for paying for a service that provides fair value. If Plex were storing and serving your data – like Google One or a hosted VPS – that would be one thing. I’m also willing to admit that Plex Pass represents solid value for the features it’s accumulated over the years. But what does Plex’s Remote Watch Pass actually do? This allows you to easily watch content on any server, no matter where you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Do you pay for Plex?<\/h3>\n
