    This is simply a rehash/summary of an original article on 404media. Beyond that, you would have to be living under a rock to think that Plex was interested in what their users actually wanted. I ran a Plex server for years until I got fed up with trying to turn off some new self serving misfeature with every new update. It’s been clear for years that offering a self hosting media server solution is simply a bridgehead for Plex to seek every more revenue opportunities, even for paying victims customers. I moved to and recommend Jellyfin- comparable user experience (minus the crap), use the same library, apps for all your devices, open source and completely self contained.

      Smells like windows, Facebook, Google, …

      Good starters but today will just crush you to earn that Q3 +3%

      I don’t even have anything like Plex, but because of you I’ll check out lemmyfin, I mean jellyfin.

      Problem is jellyfin doesn’t have apps on stuff, therefore my family can’t reach the content on their TVs without side loading and that’s so far beyond any of them it isn’t even funny

      I did Jellyfin right when I got into this as soon as I saw Plex require an external account.

    Love how the headline equates the shame of viewing porn with the shame of viewing anime

      Like the old joke goes, “when I’m watching anime and my mom walks in, I alt tab to porn because it’s easier to explain”
