    I bought the lifetime plex pass years ago for like $50, and I wouldn’t even pay that today. The service is so fucking subpar, that I assume the only reason people still use it is they don’t know any better and aren’t technical enough to do the slightly more work involved with making jellyfin functional.

    I moved over a few years ago during the pandemic (maybe before, what even is time anymore) and I have 0 complaints.

      I get that you like Jellyfin but you don’t have to lie about Plex to make the point that this is a shitty move for them to make. Despite this decision Plex’s service works just fine. That may change one day but it hasn’t yet.

        What part of my statement was a lie? Or are you lying and claiming an opinion as fact? Because

        Despite this decision Plex’s service works just fine.

        Has nothing to do with what I said, unless you think subpar means broken. It’s doesn’t, it just means below expectations.

        If I wanted a shitty interface and stuff I don’t give a fuck about shoved in my face, is pay for a streaming service and skip hosting my own. Plex was originally about that, but had to enshitify to make money. That’s what makes it subpar. But if you want to eat a shit sandwich, I won’t stop you. I’m just not going to pretend it’s not shit. Because anything that feeds me ads is shit IMO.
