Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

People in this comment section really thinking that the average person cares enough to go learn how computers really work in order to get tv for free

That's why you gotta start a Plex share with your friend group - they get content, you get booze. Win win.

Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That's one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.
