    I don’t know why everyone in the selfhosting community still even mentions Plex or uses it.

    It’s closed source, not free; Jellyfin is a no brainer yet people still go to Plex??

      What’s actually bad about it?

      Like, this is something you opt into and is only relevant if you’re watching their ad supported stuff, which I don’t know anyone who watches that over their own media on Plex.

      And honestly, every “bad” thing I’ve ever heard about Plex has been the same thing, something that sounds horrible until you understand it

        Because Jellyfin users like to feel superior. Accepting that other people have other requirements from software is hard, especially when you feel like you choice is the only valid one.

        As a long time Plex user, who has a Jellyfin running in parallel, just not shared, I will keep using Plex until they either force me off of it or Jellyfin manages to make accessing servers remotely easier and more secure.
