What is the best TV/movie service I can set up for someone who is not tech savvy and wants something that just works? (lemmy.world)

+1 again to what Mancy said. I just pay for the convenience. But yeah, if it's not cumbersome for you to manage your own server then that's great too!

As for the cost, oof I can't even imagine. Besides, they have to make use of CDN services and what-not just so that the experience is consistent worldwide.

But then again, the server that I'm a part of has like 100 people paying every month, and this network is a consolidation of many such servers, so I think the costs and labor get distributed.
