"I can see that one of my friends is apparently watching a ton of cheesy, soft porn stuff," a user said of Plex's Week in Review email and Discover Together feature.

Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.

Just use plex locally without an account. Problem solved.

Edit: lol why the down votes? It fixes the issue…a lot of the telemetry that Plex collects is in relation to having a library linked to an account as well as streaming remotely through their servers. If you simply use Plex local only eithout an account then it should help a ton…
