I swear every single Plex related thread has the same Jellyfin fanatics coming in. Same energy as “my MIL has trouble with her computer” “just install Linux bro!” comments.
Still better than the army of Plex fanboys that all claim to have dozens of senior citizens streaming from their Plex server.
I don't have dozens, but I have 3. Those three are close family members. Do you think people don't invite their parents or inlaws to their Plex server?
Clearly people do, but I think they represent a vocal minority of Plex's overall userbase. The expectation that a free project with no revenue stream should provide an ongoing service that's going to cost them money and seems to be what Plex is using to squeeze its users always strikes me as disingenuous. There are ways to enable remote access with Jellyfin, but you have to do it yourself because nobody's paying them to run those servers.
