I’m not a fan of Plex and switched to Jellyfin very early on, but I’m a bit confused by the outrage here. He used his real name to report on a UX he built. I see FOSS developers do this all the time, and it seems pretty innocuous.

I can imagine if he generated thousands of anonymous accounts and did the same it’d be very bad, but an author commenting on his own work using his full real name doesn’t seem like a conspiracy plot

It isn’t terrible but it isn’t great

It would’ve been better if he gave a disclaimer
