Yeah if I was just serving myself I would’ve probably stuck with Jellyfin, but my wife and kids also use my server. Because of it we pay exactly $0 a month in subscriptions. Plex lifetime pass was a very easy decision to make.
If they do a complete heel turn tomorrow and fuck us all, I could simply shut it down. The money I’ve saved so far has been worth it.
And I like that my wife and kids can jump on and access my server whenever they want from any device without fuss. Everyone has their priorities! I take my privacy pretty seriously but I can’t make it the number one consideration at the cost of everything else all the time. Plus, Jellyfin is a security risk if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’m pretty tech savvy but it definitely pushes my limits so I do not feel comfortable setting it up and constantly maintaining it.
