Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    It’s free and just as easy. You miss a few plex only features but they’re not worth their money. Although I did get a lifetime license for 75$. Otherwise plex is too expensive if it’s the monthly sub for the pass. Feature wise, but thats probably personal.

      So far I haven’t found the Plex pass to be necessary for me at all. I torrent my media and that’s it. I have Apple Music for my music, which allows for lossless downloads, I don’t care about skipping credits, and love tv doesn’t matter to me at all. Since the free tier with Plex serves my needs well, I’m not sure why I should look at Jellyfin when by all accounts it’s more difficult to use and I’d have to make my friends switch to a new means of accessing my library.

        Open source so not bound by some companies’ rules, regular updates. Jellyfin was created in response to the nth “fuck you” from plex to its userbase.
