If they can’t do anything better than jellyfin which is fully free open source I don’t see why they should expect money.
Plex is much better than jellyfin, especially for the exact thing this whole outrage is about - remote streaming.

Bob your uncle will absolutely not use Tailscale to stream from Jellyfin, so Bob your uncle will no longer have access to OPs library.
It’s also fucking wild to me that people are defending a monetization model that is on self hosted hardware.
It's wild to me that people who claim to be tech savvy don't understand that Plex Server, the software, is what makes Plex what it is and as popular as it is. No other solution exists that is as easy as Plex and as secure as Plex. Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi, etc are nowhere near as simple to use and don't have the breadth of app support that Plex does. Plex is basically on every device anyone owns. They sign in and they can stream from everyones libraries. No VPNs needed, no other hoops.
I paid like $100 for a lifetime Plex Pass like 10 years ago. The 2 dozen friends and family that share my server don't pay a cent and this changes nothing.
I'll take that as the "Well I have no intelligent response because he's right" that it is.
You actually want me to provide 6 examples of left-wing homophobia, or pedos, or anything else like that? You seriously don't think that any left-wing people do bad things?
The point is that there's no "right wingers are all closet homosexuals", just like there's no "left wingers are all closet pedos". How did you not get that? Are there some, even lots, on both sides? Absolutely.
You can’t solve homelessness and crime with involuntary commitment. This is woefully ineffective policy, no matter how you cut it.
This isn't attempting to solve homelessness or crime lol
The various mentions of first responders reads as first responders to me
"First responders" simply means the first people on the scene. Those people have generally always been police, which critics have long said are not the correct people for this job. This is going to change that.
And now OP is saying that he's switching to Jellfin and thinks that all of his borderline illiterate "clients" will be ok with using a VPN to access Jellyfin, if their device even has Jellyfin lol.
Also the way that OP says "users" and "clients" makes it pretty clear that he is charging people for access to his library. He is ok with making money off Plex's work, but hates the idea of Plex making money.
