2. Wonder when they'll get to the Plex servers

As streaming gets more expensive, more tiered, and more compartmentalized and ad-driven, a circle of friends started a Plex server and started tossing everything - ev-er-y-th-ing - on it.

I may start trimming down my subscriptions. I've been slowly realizing I use them less and less. I can't tell you the last time I actually used my Netflix subscription. I think my partner was watching Heartstopper. Is that on our server . . . *checks* Yes, it is.

The whole point of streaming is cheaper than cable and no ads. Once that becomes no longer true, people will bail from them, too.
