planishWhat's up with "Plex Servers"?
originaluciferfirst, id like to say.. fuck plex. friends dont let friends use plex.
that said, im the guy youre talkin about. i have a massive personal video library i push into a front-end that i share with friends and family.. even some coworkers.
the fact is, storage is very cheap now... throw in the very mature applications for obtaining/servicing the stuff stored therein it becomes trivial for guys like me to spread the wealth.
data hoarders like me are people that dont appreciate having to rely on other people for our shit.. streaming? only from our own servers. there are lots of us

Emby and Jellyfin still don’t have Apple TV Apps. Many of us bought a Lifetime Plex Pass ages ago and it still does what it’s supposed to. Migrating / starting over with something else is quite an undertaking when what you already have is working fine.
