Plex now will SELL your personal data

I don’t know why everyone in the selfhosting community still even mentions Plex or uses it.

It’s closed source, not free; Jellyfin is a no brainer yet people still go to Plex??

Until jellyfin adds better user log in plex will still thrive. I do the self hosting I don’t want a call every few days about they can’t log in. The one click Gmail login with plex is amazing.
I don’t share videos with people using google to log into any site.

The whole anti Google holier than thou is annoying at these levels.

Ok fine, don’t use Google. But telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade is worse than vegans telling you about their diet.

I’m all for kicking Google to the curb. I’m not for shoving my beliefs down other people’s throats.

Agreed. I have a dozen or so people using my Plex. There is no conceivable way I’m going to get my less tech literate friends and family to use jellyfin, much less am I going to find a way to set it up for remote access with my limited knowledge. Plex is just too convenient right now.
All of my less tech literate friends are getting a warning to abandon their computers entirely.
