Not much really. Plex hasn't presented this as a normal subscription based streaming service and more of a digital storefront akin to Google Play Movies & TV. The way I've always seen it is that Plex Pass was more like a software license since it granted all the features of the Plex software library. Maybe Pass users will get a discount or something.

Hot take: If I get the actual MP4/MKV/whatever, I don't actually care about this and think it might be a good thing, hell, I might actually purchase a couple movies and TV shows through it.

If it's just the same "license" that everywhere else gets you, then I ain't buying shit.

I wouldn't endorse Mangakakalot, they had some involvement in the Mangadex DDOS/breach a couple years back. Not to mention unlike MD they're a scan aggregator, which basically means they take scans from other sites (like Mangadex) and slap ads on top of them.

They do update the learning material over time as recommendations for teaching the languages changes, plus they do have server costs to keep in mind.

Probably doesn't have auto defrag because God forbid the OS do anything useful for you without a hundred terminal commands and a two hour setup lest all the sweaty arch users barge in with claims of bloat and "reeeeee why can't I just decide for myself".

"arch is spyware"

Would you like to open a GitHub issue as to how?

See I used to think this was a feature where it auto translated titles for you because some of the titles are a bit nonsense. Guess not.

Well they want to prove who you are because a Google account is the central part of someone's online life. I'd imagine that binning off all that info quickly looked really suspicious and flagged something on their systems. They can't just let that slide because of the possible implications, someone might use that email as their bank account login or maybe it's linked to something really personal.

Is it out of the goodness of their hearts? Hell no, it's entirely to cover their asses from liability for damages.
