Yeah, I mean this seems like much ado about nothing. Don’t get me wrong…I’d prefer Plex never even attempt this, but they make it dead easy to opt out. There’s literally an “All No” checkbox. It’s been that way for a while. Every time someone posts another “Plex sux and steals your data!” thread, I check it and everything is still set to opt-out. They’ve never auto-opted-in anything, unlike how back when I still had a Facebook account I’d have to constantly re-opt-out of things because FB seemingly changed my settings to opt back in every time the moon entered its waning phase. Roku does that too. Every time I go into the “secret” menu and turn off ads and stuff, then there’s a system update, you have to go turn that stuff back off.
