Good point. I believe they do generate a temporary virtual card number but I’m unsure if it removes all potentially identifying information from the transaction.

My friend group all use the same one though to pollute the data.
Use cash for this strategy. If you’re using credit or debit cards they can separate the data that way.
I believe in their ethics.
Didn’t they push tons of crunch on their employees for CDPR then release it way too early burning their customers as well?

Game might not be as bad now, but their ethics and business practices were on full display recently. They’re one of the few games to actually be pulled from PlayStation Store due to quality issues.
They took them off the menu in the US and only brought them back to select locations.

Plex sharing also opens up the ports, and is what the user is using already.
The pandemic caused shutdowns of many, many filming schedules and caused massive backups once they could resume, contributing to a drought of releases in 2023. What movies besides Barbie and Oppenheimer do you remember having any big marketing push?
There was also the writers strike.
Why is there no dip for the 2008 Great Recession? There was no streaming alternative or pandemic then, and thus no dip.

Plex Pass https://www.plex.tv/plex-pass/
But I was mistaken on which features were locked behind the paywall. They charge for hardware transcoding but it sounds like sharing doesn’t require the subscription.
Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.
Port forwarding doesn’t require VPN.
Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?
How so? You can use tailscale/wireguard or just port forward to remotely access.
No need to use Plex
There were almost no big theatrical first releases in 2023 besides the 2 big movies and that’s because production had halted for much of the pandemic and was playing catchup.
If it were caused by the recession, I ask again why no noticeable dip in 2008?
You’re misusing causality. Fewer people go to the movies now because there’s less reason to, not because they have less money.
That chart shows a drop due to the pandemic shutdowns, and subsequent culture shift to faster (or day 1) home streaming releases.
If it were more closely related to recession, we’d see a noticeable drop in 2008 as well.
