Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

I stopped using Plex because it was buggy for me, stopped using Jellyfin because it didn't have an app for my smart TV and using it in the TVs browser sucked, and now I use Emby because it's pretty simple, works amazingly and is free. I still technically have Jellyfin running side-by-side with Emby, I just don't use it. Jellyfin had a simple UI and basic UX, but Emby looks and feels so good.

Now, go ahead and tell me that Emby supports baby eating facists or something

Fuck! I knew it. Ah well, good thing I don't have a baby.

How comes you don't have a baby? Was it eaten by fascists, maybe?

IIRC Envy clients can connect to Jellyfin, it's part of the reason why they don't change the API despite security issues.
