    I’ve been seeing this story do the rounds and I feel like we’re burying the lede here.

    Who the hell is watching porn over Plex? That is somehow simultaneously the most uninformed and the most complicated way to access porn.

      The original article mentioned “softcore” porn, like old school cinemax movies where it’s porn, but thinly veiled into an actual movie.

      Not like hardcore 10 minute porn movies, just semi-skeevy smut that you’d rather not have other people know you’re watching. (50 shades?)

      It doesn’t seem like a huge stretch. If somebody had a stored collection, and didn’t share the server with anybody, why not point Plex at that folder? There’s even an *arr for it, so it fits right into the usual stack.
