Ahhhh, So this is why they're really cracking down on banning plex shares.

I missed that news. What's happening?

Our plex share had to move over to emby. And then they were kind of going through in systematically banning people. So a lot of people just got banned for pirated content.

I went through the same thing with the share I was on.

Plex biting the hand that fed them. There's no reason to use Plex over anything else at this point.

They got banned for selling access to pirated content.

Oh hey! Actually I did find a news article. I was curious if I could https://medium.com/@divitia/what-are-plex-shares-why-they-were-banned-f5a43735ffbb

Edit. Just finished reading it.... Eh... "News" might be a bit of a stretch for the article.

Ahhh... Yeah definitely a bad idea to advertise you're breaking the TOS on a public website

I mean the source I have is not really particularly great, Just my first hand account and what I was told about why we were moving to a different system. It was just that I was part of a plex share where all of us were getting banned for it being associated with the the Plex share. So the plex share moved over to using emby.
