That's why you gotta start a Plex share with your friend group - they get content, you get booze. Win win.

Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That's one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.
