Plex (co) has taken rather drastic action by blocking entire VPS providers from reaching plex.tv

Why is that the fault of those selling Plex shares? That’s the fault of Plex for taking that drastic action, and even having the power to disable access to their software which is self hosted on a VPS.

They violated ToS. I get what you are saying but the scale can be massive and while i also don’t agree with Plex’s course of action at all, they pushed back in the face of tos breaches.

Plex shouldn’t have access to your self-hosted services in the first place. My Jellyfin can’t be shut off by the Jellyfin project maintainer. My LibreOffice can’t be uninstalled from my computer by The Document Foundation. At least… they shouldn’t ever be expected to.
