Oh, I meant more like the name itself, cause I don't really see the genericness of it

Two words slapped together that sound vaguely relevant, or some version of "blank"tube. Jellyfin doesn't even seem vaguely relevant to streaming so it's probably a worse offender than the others. Like I said, the kind of name a random name generator could turn out and may well have lol.

Might be a great streaming service, I've never used it, and I'm not trying to discourage others from doing so. But I guarantee a month from now I'll have completely forgotten its name.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt

Really hilarious to use that quote the moment you chose to speak and not see any irony in it. Also I'm a fool for having an opinion? The irony is building.
