I already own a lifetime Plex pass, so I have no reason to stop using it. They are high thinking that anyone will pay $750 for lifetime. I paid under $100 but frankly I would have paid more, I use it every day. I’m glad that the devs there were able to get paid and provide for their families while making Plex. Plex works incredibly well for me and my family, I will use it for as long as I am able to.
I struggle to understand why JF users seem to want Plex users to convert so badly. I used JF for a while but things are great on Plex. If I thought JF was better I would switch and my metadata is well prepared for the day I need to.
Yeah, pretty much this. I have very little reason to switch, as the price increase doesn’t affect me at all.
Plus, there are enough known Jellyfin exploits that I’m not comfortable having it on the internet. The vulnerabilities are exploitable even with a reverse proxy. And I enjoy being able to share my libraries with friends and family. I have a few friends who run Plex servers of their own, and having their shared libraries show up in a single unified home page is nice. That wouldn’t be possible if I had to get all of them set up with a local VPN connection first.
Luckily, the two happily run side-by-side. So there’s literally no good reason to ditch Plex if you already have the lifetime pass.
