Ok, if you find any info on that please post it. I’m going to be on the look out for it and do the same if I find it.

I’ve had a plex pass since before 2023 so this doesn’t affect me either way.

But 2023 doesn’t sound right for when the grandfathering ended. I do not doubt that there is an end date for grandfathering but for that to have happened in 2023 sounds punitive towards their users and not a good long term strategy.

Sure, enshittification and all that. I don’t doubt greed is the motive but they had to have known by ending grandfathering 2 years before implementing a policy like this would stir a user revolt and strengthen their competition. Especially with all the increased enshittification they have pushed out over those 2 years.

When did/does the grandfathering period end?

I hadn’t heard that aspect of it before and would like to know more.

Thank you for the info!

I believe if the server hosting the content has a plex pass then end users are allowed to stream from it without any additional subscription or membership. At least that is how it was several months ago when they announced this.

But you are right, even with the above being true, there will still be a non-insignificant portion of users paying to stream from servers.

I want to buy it but that website gives off scammy vibes.

Noticed several red flags that made me hesitate once it was in my cart.

Funny thing is, he does have a helicopter and his helicopter pilots license. Which he got in case of emergencies. After the LA fires this year I saw an interview with him where he was talking about it.

He was making fun of himself because he got his license and the helicopter to flee things like the LA fire but helicopters are expensive and he couldn’t afford more than a 2-seater so he can’t take his whole family if he ever had to really use it.

So my comment was based off a real thing he may say as to why he needed the money.

Tbh though, I could see him going with that third one.

Agreed about 90s Chappelle… I think he would have had more empathy and understanding in selecting gigs than current Chappelle.

You’re right, I guess spin is the wrong word here since it is a PR term and Bill Burr isn’t a PR type of guy.

I intended to mean, I wonder what he will say about this when he is publicly asked about it.

I am assuming he will be blunt and honest with answers ranging from,

“it’s none of your damn business”

to

“I needed a new helicopter that has more than 2 seats so I can evacuate my family from LA safely once shit hits the fan and I don’t want to put myself in a Sofie’s Choice kinda situation”

or

“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking when I accepted the job but donated the paycheck to the 9/11 families fund.”

Agreed on the Bill Burr part.

He is the only one who I was surprised and disappointed to see attending. All those others are people who’d I expect to chase money over morals and I didn’t respect as individuals already.

I wonder how he is going to spin this.
