If you currently have lifetime/active subscription, your unpaid users/viewers will benefit from this by no longer having to buy the $5 one-time-fee unlocking of the Android or IOS app (this is nice for my in-laws who forget their google password and decide it's easier to make a new account than recover their password, ugh).
Eventually this may flow down to some negative impact on PP lifetime subs, but this announcement isn't as gloom and doom as some are making it.

TBH, I'd kindof rather put that burden on the friend/family wanting access. $20/year is pretty cheap if they want to use my hardware/electricity/content. Then there's also no risk of that access getting shared with other users (unless there's security against that, which seems possible/likely).

I only currently use it within my own home, only for disks I ripped from my own library (and still own), for which I didn't get a digital-movie code (since those don't require me to use my own storage space) . It serves that use-case great and requires no subscription.
I'm not familiar with fmovies/vhmovies -- will look into them.
I haven't even been able to read through stuff honestly. But for 120 for a lifetime, Its a no brainer at this point. If they start tweaking things and adding features I know I don't have to worry about it.
Besides I did hear about Plexamp which is their music streaming app off your plex server and you need plex pass for that. Seems worth it

But, unfortunately if I can not get it to stream over local network (not even remote), without it buffering 90% of the time, I wont be using Plex.
I would recommend using it with full features, so you know exactly what you're getting first before buying the lifetime.

Something is broken. Synology trying to transcode? Poor wifi speeds?
