Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

    I already paid when it was cheap. I’ll stay and get my full dollars worth and then some. I paid for it, I’ll use it. When it is unusable I’ll bail. Anything else is stupid.

      What you are saying is called sunk cost fallacy. A notoriously common stupid way of thinking.

      The logical way to think of this is: You already paid for Plex so both are free for you. Since both are free, just pick the better one.

        Why are you being rude to somebody you’re trying to convince to put in extra effort to switch services?

          You’re right, but I don’t care if they switch honestly. I used that wording because of the “anything else is stupid” statement, which just irked me when paired with the obvious fallacy.

        I wouldn’t call it “stupid way of thinking”. That sounds almost offensive, while it’s just a common fallacy that affects most humans.

          It was just a reaction to the “anything else is stupid” statement paired with the fallacy. I wouldn’t use that phrasing otherwise.
