I’ve finally switched to Jellyfin, even though I have a lifetime Plex pass. It isn’t really a downgrade. I think I ran into more bugs on Plex. Using Jellyfin is like switching from Windows to Linux, on a smaller scale. Plex was always trying to sell you something, get you to use the other features, etc, whereas Jellyfin just gets out of my way and lets me watch media.
Plex still costs the same to me. Lifetime pass means no price hike, and it “just works.”
it just means the costs to you are less visible, you are still the product you have paid to pretend that you are not the product.
