As Plex is moving to streaming services Channels may be the way to go

Plex was always about tool for playing pirated content. Their move to streaming plus very bloated UI makes me move to Jellyfin. But at the same time ability to add own movies in Channels could make it a stop for all Plex running men.

They are not moving to streaming services they are simply adding free content. With or without a Plex Pass.

yes they are moving. read plex subreddit.
it is obvious movie companies not allow service created for pirating content
