I feel you. I have close to 30 friends on plex, but only like 5 people use it regularly, another 4 sporadically … and most others either have never watched anything or just like seconds (probably just testing if it worked).
It’s not the easiest platform to adopt, especially if you just have an account to connect to a friends library and don’t know how to do the inital setup (hiding all the free crap). Most of my regular viewers are family members … and I setup their homescreen for them.
It is very funny, but also kind of sad. It’s just stupid elitism over what … the way you host your personal, probably pirated, media? I don’t understand why people take it so seriously. It’s such a 1st world problem.
