It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want.

Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good.

I'm in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin?

P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I'm not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service

If maintaining a server eats too much time, why on earth would someone do it for you for just $10 per month?

Because someone would be willing to do it for a bunch of people for $10/month each.

bingo. Why is it such a difficult concept. It makes sense to centralize work, that's it.
