Sure, but having to keep track of all things the vendor does against my interest and disable them every time they add a new one is a mental burden I'd rather not deal with.

As I said in my other comment, I removed the screens two years ago, post-install, and none have appeared since. This falls significant short of 'mental burden' for me.

I don't think being perpetually reactive is the right mentality. First it's esoteric. You need to know which menu it's in, and what the setting is called.

And how does this scale? As more of those feature come, and you cannot opt-out of them, even as a paying customer.

Plex has a horrible report with me, and though I still use it, I'm tempted to try other apps now.

I removed the screens containing non-local content two years ago, immediately after install, and it's never reappeared since, nor has any newer version of non-local or ad-laden content.

Maybe our use cases are different but there's nothing reactive needed for me.

I can, but my other users in family and friends are getting mad about it
