Streaming media company Plex raises new funds as it nears profitability | TechCrunch

Media streamer Plex has raised new capital. The company, which began as a media organization startup, has morphed over the years to become a one-stop shop

I hope this doesn’t mean they are on the slippery slope of selling user data, thoughts?
