• I am dying to know how much money Plex is about to make the next six weeks charging people to stream their own video from their own homes.
• Today, it’s giving every prospective customer until July 1st to lock in a lifetime subscription at today’s rates — before it triples the price to $750. Plex already more than doubled the price of a lifetime Plex Pass subscription from $119.99 to $249.99 last March, and it’ll triple again on July 1st to $749.99. At that price, you’d have to subscribe for 11 years (at the current annual rate) to make the lifetime sub worthwhile.
