Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!
pigeonholedpoetry@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoWell you’re on Lemmy and it’s not FOSS. Not a great place to get unbiased opinions on the matter. It’s actively shitted on in the fediverse. They even bum rush the plex community here.

Plex was bought out by venture capital and has been enshittifing for years. “Free” media stream sources added riddled with adds that you have to opt put of, opt out “everyone can see what every is watching” features, nebulous “we need to upload hashes of your media to skip credits” privacy issues, abandoning apps for various platforms like kodi, on and on.
I have a lifetime pass, but now don’t consider plex a viable platform long term. The issues are not baseless, but rather based on what plex has decided to do to make even more money.

I agree mostly. I just see way more ignorant takes left and right on Lemmy. Yours is actually a better way of stating things. I’m also in the actively shitted on iOS side of things as well. Between plexamp and infuse… it’s highly polished for me.
My advice is always if you’re just now starting to definitely go to jellyfin. I bought lifetime plex pass maybe 16 or so years ago. One day I’ll probably give jellyfin a try.
