Plex has announced a massive price increase on the service's Lifetime Plex Pass. On July 1, the lifetime subscription option will go from $249.99 to $749.99, an increase of 200%. The price hike will only apply to new subscribers, with no changes to monthly or annual subscription pricing.

How much longer before the yearly/monthly goes up this much.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

as soon as they think the market will bear it

How much longer until all the current lifetime subscribers have to pay up to the current price to keep it?

[–] nahostdeutschland@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah - they know that you are using the service a lot. They know that you are willing to pay. But they are not getting ongoing revenue from you. That is something no MBA manager CEO dude can accept. They will come for lifetime users

Yeah eventually they will figure out to nullify the old cheap lifetime subscriptions.

I'm just waiting for them to decide all the lifetime members need to pay monthly and kill off the lifetime memberships. Probably by having a 'new' version that for some made up reason can only function ~~on the blood of the unborn~~ on monthly subscriptions. Where the only real change will be a different UI that's missing features which they will tout as "cleaner".
