You just said that they introduced a feature that does exactly that, but you disabled it. So the default is a screen filled with what is effectively advertising. It can be disabled, but it is there.
And a quick Google seems to indicate this is a client side setting, so you can’t set a server side default for all users and clients. And that there are actually multiple places settings need to be adjusted to turn each of the portions of it off.
Could be more up to date options… most of that was from a quick look at multiple massive discussion threads on the plex forum from it’s introduction in 2022 demanding the option to disable everything related to discover… And dev responses at the time amounting to “lol maybe”.
I used to have Plex lifetime, switched to Emby years ago because of shit like that in Plex, before Jellyfin forked from Emby when they stopped being open source.
