On September 14, 2015, plug.dj announced that the service would be shutting down if it was unable to raise enough money to support the running of the service by a disclosed deadline of September 28 through a donation drive. In April 2015, a paid subscription service was launched, which provided access to subscriber avatars and badges without the user having to spend PP. Volunteer global moderators, called "Brand Ambassadors", also existed. The community creator was able to promote users to moderators to help ensure the community's rules were followed and to keep the environment friendly. Communities dedicated to non-electronic genres, such as rock, jazz, death metal, and classical also existed.
Each community on plug.dj was typically focused on a few specific musical genres, usually one of the subgenres of EDM (Electronic Dance Music), such as Trap, Dubstep, Electro, Drum'n'Bass and many others. By spending time or being active on the site, they were able to earn experience points (XP) and plug points (PP), which could be used to unlock and purchase various items, such as new avatars and chat badges. Users could also vote positively or negatively for each song or video played, or add it to their own playlists. Inside each community, users could choose to join a wait list and wait for their turn to be the DJ for everyone else in the community, playing a video or song chosen from either YouTube or SoundCloud, or simply listen passively. Plug.dj consisted of different online chat rooms, called "communities", that users could freely create.
