If it's shit I'll jump to Jellyfin

It's 2024 friend. There are no such things as good upgrades. Enshitification dominates every damn time.

Looks like I'll have to give jellyfin a go. I've been pleased with plex and haven't yet had a good reason to transition (what can jellyfin do better than plex? )

It would need to physically slap you through the screen to be worse than it already is. How is anyone still using it? inertia? there's literally no way anyone started using it after the subscription was added right?

None of the people I've added as friends ever use Plex. Feels stupid to have that in the UX, and I'm not even sharing what I'm watching with them.

Friendly reminder that Plex didn't even use SSL until about a month after I wrote a POC exploiting login tokens.

Though I'm not sure why an overhaul is considered a bad thing.

In this thread posted by Jesus himself: EleventhHour having a mental breakdown fighting everybody yo explain how Plex is better than everything else.
I don’t even have a take on this, it’s just funny.
