I switched a while back, I think so. Some premium features of plex are available free (like downloading media). It’s also less bloated. Personally I hated plex trying to shove it’s live tv packages or whatever at me. But honestly, if you’re happy with plex, I’d stick with it. They’re pretty similar.
I’m not a power user but it’s way better than Plex imo. The personal media management features are on par with plex without all the bullshit ads / FAST services being shoved down your throat. To me it feels like Plex got too popular and the owners realized that a) they could make a shitload of money off of their existing userbase and b) the more they gear the app around FAST crap the more they can act like it’s used for legitimate reasons and not just piracy
You can find tons of discussions of pros and cons online either in the dreaded reddit space of r/jellyfin and I think there are also already some threads on that in the lemmy community of jellyfin.
I guess we all knew this was coming after Netflix did it.
Despite Disney making record profits, it’s ridiculous. Anyway, the streaming era was fun while it lasted, it’s back to using BitTorrent.

Yeah, I have a jellyfin server, but you still have to acquire the files.
Damn, if only there was a way to do that. guess we just have to keep paying Disney then.
I’ve been curious about jellyfin for a while. Is it worth migrating from plex?

Just like with all great new eras/technologies, big corporations just gotta fucking ruin it
Capitalism and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, name a more iconic duo.
XD Well obviously if they kill the goose then only they have the golden eggs, right? It’s perfect!.. for them
It’s just the modus operandi of capitalism
Sure fucking is
