Yeah, I get what you say, sometimes is better to have full control, especially with older media.
I don't think Plex Server Share are going to die because of Reddit people like to share stuff, for cheap or for free it doesn't matter, more likely they will move somewhere else, I'd check in Discord too, or hopefully they make it here someday.
If it is worth something setting up is only a pain it the ass once, when you have it set up it is a breeze with software as Sonarr, Radarr, Overseerr, Tautulli etc, you can keep using Plex.
You'd need some hardware though, I'd recommend something with Linux I do all of the above and more with a Synology NAS (DS218+), my only problem is the lack of storage.
The problem for me is the hardware. All that storage and shit is just too expensive.
Yeah I get you, especially if you want to host lots of TV shows or reality shows lol.
Sadly I don't see a workaround other than depending on illegal streaming methods like the ones I mentioned or streaming websites (I don't think they would have niche stuff though) or keep trying other Plex Shares... I mean, your current one still alive isn't it?
I'm pretty sure most of the content is retrieved from torrent and maybe usenet, so you need to make some compromises to have it working on your own.
