      As a lifetime owner, the number of features they’ve deprecated is probably the worst part.

      • Photo support (luckily Immich came along)
      • Tidal integration (no idea if that was Plex or Tidal’s decision)
      • Plugins (god forbid anyone add the functionality they keep removing)

      It’s close between that and the last app overhaul that removed a bunch of functionality.
