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.
I’m going to try and take a step back here and really give you a more charitable interpretation.
I am sorry I had such a reaction in some ways. I do not appreciate the implications and accusations you threw my way, but I can believe that they were not meant to be like that and I can get past it. Have a good rest of your week.
I’m not upset, you’re just being annoying. And for somebody who says you don’t care or otherwise not invested in all of this, this comment is pretty damn long. So I skipped to the end, have a great rest of your week as well I guess. Assuming you’re actually being sincere.
And before you complain that it’s disrespectful of me to not even read what you wrote or whatever, frankly I found it very disrespectful that you opened up by trying to make me sound emotional and unable to process this rationally and tried to diagnose me (which as someone with autism I’m sure you understand how problematic that is to do to a stranger online after like 2 comments).
A lot of this is simply a really rude Internet argument tactic that I don’t appreciate. I’m calm. I’m being rational. You’re just being rude and again, problematic.
I’d love to see your homework on that. Must be really interesting data points here. I’d love the ability to prove my opinions and ramblings on the Internet are “objectively true.”
All this BS aside I was clearly wrong because they said so. It was a mistake. You’re going to survive.
“Jacked their prices” is a tad dramatic and if you use Plex regularly you’d be foolish not to just buy the lifetime subscription when they put it on sale for like $80 every year. The price change this year was modest except for lifetime which went from $125-$250 with a heads up meaning you could’ve still gotten it at $125 before the change.
Do you know the details of the price change?
I understand why you might find that useful but I do not think that is exactly the most important feature in the world to most people. I could also rattle off plenty of things Plex can do that Jellyfin can’t. I have used both and the fact of the matter is just am willing to take the trade offs for the simplicity of Plex. You do you!
oh well if you’re saying so then it must be true.
The humorous intent was not obvious.
I know people are going to crucify me for this but just fucking use Plex at that point

You’re hiding behind literal definitions to avoid addressing the functional issue/implications.
This is like when somebody says “no one believes that“ and the other person finds a tweet by one person that believes the thing. The claim isn’t that literally not one person does, it’s that it’s so unusual you may as well act as if nobody does.
Surely you understand how people talk and basic vernacular?
Agreed. I’m sure there are edge cases that we can obviously allow, but in general, it should be illegal
Exact same thought. People want to blame vapes because it’s an easy target, and I’m inclined to join them to be honest, but these batteries are in so many fucking disposable things
But at last we’re free or something

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.
