    Is it fake or just a review by an employee that uses plex?

      Yeah, I`m all for roasting Plex but nothing about that review is inappropriate or prima facie untruthful.

        It’s inappropriate because you’re not allowed to review your own companies software, let alone do so without declaring as such.

            Google says you can’t. It’s a violation of their ToS.

        The update makes the download feature objectively worse. So, that was a stretch to praise both.
