as someone who bought a lifetime pass years ago when it was cheap, I'm more concerned about this indicating that they are in desparate straits and are heading towards going out of business.

I like plex, I've tried jellyfin and emby and plex has always come out ahead (handling the metadata and the general user experience) and if plex goes bellyup i guess I'll move, but I'll be sad. At least I feel I've gotten my value out of my lifetime plex pass.
