fuck Emby with a branding iron
Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April
cm0002@lemmy.world 1 month agoAbsolutely not, fuck Emby with a branding iron, they’re far shittier than Plex’s decisions.
At least Plex started out as a for-profit company and has never misrepresented themselves as anything but. Unlike Emby.

Nah, as far as I’m aware Emby hasn’t started their own streaming service and pivoted away from their self-hosted oriented position, or shoving a bunch of bloat into their server software. They haven’t shoehorned a bunch of unwanted social features into it either. If you were fine paying for Plex five years ago, you’ll be fine with Emby.

Yea because like I said, they’re on an enshittification train on the same track just some stops behind, except they started with far worse decisions
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It sounds like they haven’t even made their first stop, nor do they even have the train yet. And it seems like none of those bad decisions have even been made yet.
I guess you could predict that one day they will start their enshittification journey, but that day is not today.
