Spot rate pricing for electricity is uncommon among households for exactly this reason. The price is most likely the result of energy market conditions, rather than nefarious actors in the market intentionally manipulating market conditions.
Usually there's a company that would be absorbing that risk of price fluctuations by charging slightly more than the baseline normal so that they can afford to charge households at a loss for the short periods where the price spikes as insanely as this.
It's a valuable service. How will the next generation of chatbots write jokes if there isn't someone explaining every joke.
Kodi & Plex are just ways to manage, organize, and browse a multimedia collection.
If you're talking about accessing a specific server that has a large collection of multimedia on it, accessing it is fairly simple
Step 1: Have a friend who is hosting such a multimedia collection on their server Step 2: Ask that friend if you can have a login to access it.
To my knowledge there aren't really any people hosting such servers that are giving away access to people they don't personally know. Certainly not for free.
Per that rule of thumb, 27 is on the border of being creepy.
