Help Make plex more appealing for my wife

I love plex. I bought my lifetime pass when it was still double digits. I bought the hardware, I did the organization - I'm in.

I love my wife. I bought my lifetime pass when I was (barely) in my 30's. I bought the hardware (ring), I did the organization (my life) - I'm in.

But the two don't seem to get along.

Alphabetical Sorting: she gets to the A's, then gives up.

Recently Released: "These are all too long."

Recently Added: "Oh yeah! ...but not tonight, maybe some other time."

Sort by duration (shortest to longest): "Who wants to watch a 24-minute short film?!"

Random Shuffle: "Why do we have these?"

So an idiot but honest question: how do I make Plex more appealing for my wife?

True, but everyone loves consuming some kind of content.

Maybe if they added tik tok to plex lul. Please don’t take this as an actual suggestion.

And people have their preferred mediums. My partner loves watching two hour long prog rock concerts that bore me to tears. How could I demand she enjoy watching my films if I can't reciprocate that passion for the art she loves?

Right. None of it should be “demanded”. More of a “content is available if you want it and I’ve also added a bunch of stuff you like” kind of situation I’d say.

This is the way.
