Plex was once the go-to media server, but growing restrictions and paywalls are pushing users away. Here's why you should consider switching.

    I hate headlines like this. I’d love to hear the REASONS WHY Plex are doing all of this.

    1. Greed… do you really need 3 more?

    Before someone says “the reason is money” we need to ask: do the developers of Jellyfin not use money? Why won’t the same thing just happen to them too?

    Plex is a private company wanting money… Jellyfin is a voluteer-drive effort

    Before someone says “enshittification,” we need to ask: does this mean Jellyfin will soon have the same problems?

    Enshitification happens to privately develop products due to <checks notes> greed… Jellyfin is not a private company pushing a product for profit

    We all seem to love Jellyfin so I think we need to understand the actual reason why, or this will just continue happening.

    Back to “greed”
