…on the good things and ruin it for everyone. How would one go about letting people know, in a responsible manner.

Hypothetically.

    A paid plex share is a plex server that someone is running + selling access too.

    This is against plex’ terms, gets plex accounts banned; and in some cases, Plex (co) has taken rather drastic action by blocking entire VPS providers from reaching plex.tv; thus plex server software no longer functions on those VPS’s at all.

    Naturally, people selling shares want to maximize profit, so they use VPS providers on the cheaper end; resulting in cheaper VPS solutions being blocked for everyone.

      Why is that the fault of those selling Plex shares? That’s the fault of Plex for taking that drastic action, and even having the power to disable access to their software which is self hosted on a VPS.
