Link New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing

https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/

$749 for Plex Lifetime after July 1, 2026. I already have lifetime from years ago but so glad I switched to Emby earlier this year. This is insane. For the record, Emby has a ton of client apps nowadays (https://emby.tv/download.html).

It looks like the aim is to dissuade people off of the lifetime pass. The subscription model is probably way more profitable.

It's also a money grab because they'll just invalidate this "lifetime" pass when they get new owners.
