When a service that I self-host violates my trust in a way that I have no control over, I uninstall it. I'd rather be mad at my own failure to secure/properly configure my shit than be betrayed by a third party.

The people still on Plex are looking around at the metaphorical piles of rubble that used to be their neighbors and thinking to themselves, "Well my house is still standing so why would I move?".

Eventually Plex the company will find your own personal line and cross it.
