Soft in all the wrong places. Take with a strong tea.
Summary
Plex is expanding beyond its media server roots by introducing new social features. The platform now allows users to create and share personalized lists of movies, shows, and episodes. Later this year, Plex will enable list imports from other streaming services and reactions to others' lists. A community forum launching this month will let users post and comment directly on any content page. Additionally, "Match Scores" based on viewing history and past ratings will be introduced later this year, furthering Plex's evolution into content discovery and streaming rentals.
