I do think it's weird that Plex decided to put hardware transcoding behind a paid membership, so that's obviously a negative, but it sounds like the argument for jellyfin is that it's free but you get less. That's ok, I'm not dragging jellyfin through the mud on this, but you have to admit many people think their Plex purchase is worth it compared to jellyfin.
As I said, I don't think it's worth it. And that's OK -- we can disagree.
