      Lazy ones will just keep paying monthly. Industrious ones might move to jellyfin. The main thing this will do is separate a few fools from their money get people to stop buying lifetime passes.

        It’s safe to say they want people to be stuck paying monthly so they can have more consistent income i guess.

        At least when paying monthly it’s easier to see the worth in swapping to Jellyfin (because you aren’t trying to maximize the 1k you dropped for lifetime).
