Everytime I hear something about Plex I become a bit happier with my choice for Emby as media server.
At the time of building my then server I could choice between them(jellyfin wasn't a thing yet). Luckily I picked emby
I picked Plex mainly because the lifetime sub wasn't bad, and the features and polished interface were worth it. If Plex adds too many garbage/bloat features or removes useful features then I'll jump ship to jellyfin immediately. Same boat for paying for bitwarden vs self hosting vaultwarden
This is the problem with proprietary software, it starts out fine, but as it get more popular the value goes down
As a former director of a tech startup it all goes downhill when you bring investors on board to raise capital. I had to do many things I disagreed with because once you bring investors in you generally end up facing life ruining financial penalties if you don't deliver what they want.
Well you also get a fast cheque in exchange for that, right? 😸
