What streaming services is plex pushing? They offer integration for other services you subscribed to like Netflix or Disney and they also offer free, ad based services that you can permanently hide with one button. And the UI? Jellyfin is so convoluted, especially the settings.
You answered that yourself.
Question:
Answer:
Honestly thought it was just one service, not services, didn't know it was that bad. Yikes! Commercialisation strikes again.
Plus, there's the "Plex pass" as you mentioned. I'm sorry but I'm not buying some bullshit battlepass just to watch movies lol.
How are Jellyfin settings convoluted in the slightest? How is the UI convoluted? You keep saying it, but you can't give a single example so far. Can you mention at least one?
As for the settings they're all neatly split by categories and pretty straightforward, not that you have to use the settings much if at all tbh. Outside of "scan library" I don't think I've been in the settings once after setting up the automatic subtitles download plugin.
Jellyfin is a great example of how FOSSware just works, and doesn't stop working like the competing capitalist enshittificationware when it decides to rake it in.
