I thought the last couple moves were the nail in the coffin, but this might be it 🤣

almost a fucking grand for a media server that you host yourself, and only really rely on their login servers for. Can anyone else say “enshittification”?

I paid… $74.99 for a lifetime plex sub in 2014. Is this the same service?

Wow… Rough! I get they’ve “added value” over time, but they’ve also enshittified it too… If only Jellyfin were simpler to setup for the masses…

Jesus fuck. Time to learn how to safely expose Jellyfin, I guess.

I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa? Examples of basic features I’m missing in Jellyfin: Create a user-defined collection (like group of favourite movies) Adding user-defined tags Filtering by tags or any meaningful filtering Filtering by languages (however this could be done by using combination of 2 different plugins that add tags and create collections) [Important] No movie/show relations (e.g. The Lord of the Rings 1 -> 2 -> 3) No way to know if movie/show belongs to any collection

As if there weren’t enough reasons to use jellyfin already.

Jellyfin Lifetime Pass continues to be better value.

Welp, looks like I’m never buying, and therefore using plex

Yep, definitely heading for bankruptcy.
