If you look at the thread, there’s at least one person who claims to not be taking money for their Plex server that was confronted with a screenshot of them selling access to their Plex server. Stop selling stuff you don’t have the right to sell, and no one will bat an eye at you.

Here’s an example of the Reddit OP providing randos access to their Plex. For money? Not sure, but definitely not immediate family.

The linked thread is such a good example of why I quit reddit, the discourse is often so frustratingly stupid, there are always contrarians acting like "they shouldn't ban you for X"="they can't ban you for X", and then there's the unnecessary whining about upvotes and downvotes. Plex is such a weird project though, they should've been able to see that they'd have to start clamping down on the sharing as they went in…

Also the outright lies in that thread made it obvious to me my decision to quit participating on Reddit was correct.

FYI: running ZFS (or any server storage) on eHDDs isn't a recommended practice[0]. A lot of things can go wrong and, if mine are anything to go by, they don't pass SMART data back to the host.

D4-400's pass back Smart data. I've gone through a lot of different units to find good ones.

Ahh, in that case I'm very happy to be called out on that. I have a few Seagate ones from various generations, and none of them pass any SMART data. It's quite infuriating.

Yep, the Teramaster multi-disk series seem to be the only ones that actually pass back the proper disk data.

I even get the proper disk UUID rather than being overridden by the drive unit.

Really? You've never seen an ad on Plex? All the ads for their new features? All the ads for the latest ad-supported movie or "channel" they're carrying that they keep trying to find new ways to slip into your pins and/or home page? Do you think they added the Discover page out of the goodness of their heart?

Nope. Never saw any of those. Turned them all off. All I ever see is my content.

So what you're saying is that you did in fact see all of them until you had turned them off.
