if that was actually true I would quit messing with Plex tomorrow.
It’s true with some caveats.
VOD I believe is usually piped through debrid services I believe and it’s not super uncommon to get 2/3 through a movie and have it play like crap and need to skip to finish playing.
Quality is lower. You’re generally not going to get any 20+mbps stuff.
Shows take about a week to populate after released.
Live TV is not as good as YouTube. Most popular channels are better than good enough.
