That looks bad......if you take it completely out of context
The author just added some levity while writing about his widespread support
[...] One, who sported a satiny sash emblazoned with Luigi in green, appeared to commiserate with another supporter about not being permitted to wear the prom-queen evoking accessory.
Other accoutrements were more straightforward. One supporter wore a shirt stating: “11 minutes of missing body camera footage.”
Sorry man but it's you who is misunderstanding.
Plex used to let you buy a "license" for a one-time fee which allowed you to stream to phones. You did not need a Plex Pass, lifetime or otherwise.
Recently, Plex announced that you no longer need to pay this one-time fee. However, you can no longer stream videos to your phone without Plex Pass. If you have Plex Pass, you are obviously unaffected
This basically invalidated the paid licenses of anyone not paying for Plex Pass.
That is what they're talking about.
