Earlier this week, Plex caused some uproar when its "Discover Together" feature began to surprise users, emailing their friends and media server compatriots with their watch history. The feature seems like a superfluous bell and/or whistle to the rig-your-own Netflix-style streaming service, which allows you to make your own media servers to stream content you own or have downloaded to a TV or similar.
The emails in particular are called the "Week in Review". To many who were just using the platform as a way to store all their totally-legally-downloaded anime, they felt like an overstep of privacy. Users called it an "opt-out" system, which—as you're about to find out, is technically not the case, but only in the barest terms.
