    In addition: Sharing this post form r/selfhosted which also describes the recent Plex situation lately, worth a read.

      Yet again Plex is an amazing example of how people become more angry because they give things away for free.

      If everything required a Plex pass less people would be angry.

      Just use want you want.

        I personally don’t see a reason to use Plex over Jellyfin. Apparently some people agree since Jellyfin made bank from donations.

        A lot of the angst about the server requirements for Plex pass really have to stretch the truth to become a victim. It only affects you if you were using it for free, in which case 🤷, it was free, it’s hard to feel bad about it.

        The only thing I’m disappointed in is the free mobile streaming comes at the same time they released the new broken app. When they get around to fixing the app I’ll be able to tell my friends they can now use the app. The server owner paying once is much better than every person paying for the app.
