If they can’t do anything better than jellyfin which is fully free open source I don’t see why they should expect money. If Photoshop were paid for gimp they certainly wouldn’t deserve anything.

I think the bad feelings are by virtue of taking away something that WAS free. This is just basic human psych people are loss averse.

Plex is much better than jellyfin, especially for the exact thing this whole outrage is about - remote streaming.

I tried jellyfin and thought Plex was better in all aspects personally. Yeah, it sucks to lose free features, then again no one is owed fully free software from a commercial company
