Not sure if it's unique so feel free to try.

I’m getting invalid code. :(
This is likely to have been targeted and tied to your account.

GET30FREE should work for a 30-day trial if people want to test it out
I got one too for my account (mine was for $75 (USD))
Jellyfin is free and works just as well imo
im starting to use jellyfin. I have a test server setup at home, and will be migrating everything to it shortly I think.
seems to work really well for me. (just wish I had faster upload speeds on home internet)Never heard of it, and not that I do specifically for Plex, but I would rather pay for something
that is well-known and guaranteed support into the future.Yeah but it's free, open source and takes like 10 mins to set up, so not really comparable in that way
How are they not comparable? Plex also has and has always had a free version, and it's simple to setup across multiple platforms.
Targeted. You can easily get codes on the reddit.
Honestly, there's not much benefit. Someone else explained it all better on a previous OzBargain Plex thread if you care to search. I'd rather just pay the ~$4 one time fee per Android account for people I want to give access to my Plex server.
I need it for the DVR functionality so that I can watch TV while away from home.
I purchased it ages ago in order to restrict content for users so i've got the kids having only access to Disney movies etc, then a higher level up for adults, then all access there-after for anything too adult. Works amazingly well.
I stopped watching free to air a looong time ago.
Netflix, Kayo and legal linux ISO torrents serve all my media needs.
AFL GF? (probably only thing I can think of that you're missing)
Yeah don't know if any point to Plex pass over free. Didn't care about any of the options that weren't ticked in the comparison
I needed it specifically for the HEVC decoding.
I've tested this. The quality is worse.
Better to get a better CPU.
Hardware decoding to be specific.
Honestly, I don't regret purchasing this for full price a good year back; at the very least it supports the creators. Though, they need to really add more to Plex pass users to make it an appealing purchase.
I never understand why this gets posted here.
These types of lifetime discounts are always targeted to a very very small amount of users, and it happens often.
The only people this will work on are the people who didn't read or see the email plex sent.
Also I wouldn't bother getting it specifically for hardware transcoding, especially for intel CPU's at the moment. It has a lot of bugs at the moment which can cause issues depending on the player, but everyone will get the zero copy issue if you have an intel cpu.
Not an Intel CPU, an Intel CPU with IGP, that's also enabled. Xeon CPUs or Core series without IGP and a discrete PCIe GPU have no such issues.
Having said that, if your CPU is fast enough it's best to use software transcoding for quality at this stage anyway - hardware transcoders all seem to have compression issues. I'll be very interested to see how implementations of AV1 hardware transcoders fare - Allegro was first to market, but there are a couple more available now, and there should be a fairly strong ecosystem within another 12 months. AV1 is likely to replace HEVC as Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Intel and of course Google (plus more than 100 other media and tech companies) are all heavily invested in it. Realtime software transcoding isn't possible with AV1 due to complexity (without significant horsepower that you won't find in anyone's home), so AV1 will have challenges for adoption in streaming media players until a consumer add-on card is available for reasonable money.
Xeon CPU's and Core series without IGP do not use hardware acceleration from Intel though.
I should have been more clear that an intel CPU using nvidia video encoding would have less issues.
