Oh, you expect proprietary software to behave nicely? That’s cute!
I’ll just be over here with Jellyfin, watching the chaos unfold with my popcorn!
Why worry about plex stealing your information, when all of the hardware is literally back door by the government. 🤔🧐
Meanwhile, poor Jellyfin just quietly doing the job.
I assumed they already were.
No chance Plex wasn’t making money from those who didn’t pay for Plex Pass.
I have a lifetime Plex pass but still I am considering switching. Currently I have both Jellyfin and Plex on the same libraries but Jellyfin doesn’t have support for chromecast (on iOS and Firefox) nor support for offline . (Not) covering neither my at home nor travelling use cases 😕
“enshittification wont happen to my software of choice”
hahahaha… those ppl with discord, iphones, windows,plex…they wont learn.
Goddammit… Right after I got the lifetime pass…
How else can they afford to stream samurai cop 3 and other things you never asked? You guys need to support them in becoming the best corp they can be! They want to be big boys now.
Plex has always been trash imo. Far better open source options available.
Force PlexPass first, get money, then change terms.
Coordinated big-brain evil.
Big plus - identify all accounts interested in privacy. Thus = suspicious accounts.
This is the path for Plex to become Digg, Playon, and reddit.
We are altering the deal. Pray, we do not alter it further.
I might actually have to switch to Jellyfin then…
I say that as a paying plex pass customer
I miss when you could use something without it turning into spyware. Jellyfin it is then.
It’s interesting to see the different kind of comments here and on Redshit.
Here, people are smart and they are switching to Jellyfin. On Redshit, if people mention Jellyfin in a comment they get downvoted right away.
honestly for my purposes, jellyfin is more than enough. Does everything I want. Even got the icons of the series I watch implemented in the player
