Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April
Personal Media and Beyond You’re going to be hearing a lot from us this year—we’ve got a ton of exciting...
We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

I can understand new features being behind a fee, but this is putting old, old capabilities behind a paywall. Hmmm...
This with a recent decision to remove watch together sort of eliminates the whole reason I would have tried Plex so many years ago.
I'm a fan of Plex (it's worked for me) and understand the Jellyfin crowd too. I'm worried about who is calling the shots at the moment. They aren't aligning with their users.
Old capabilities that don't even work as well as free alternatives because AMD transcoding support has been """experimental""" for years.

I am a Trakt user, was an Evernote user and I am (thankfully) a Plex Pass user...
What service are we missing that has done the same? We should make a list if there is not one already.
