    That makes sense. I’ve only hosted Plex through a proxy or VPN anyway for networking and security reasons, but it’s pretty shitty to force it just out of greed.

    I am also planning to move to JellyFin, but more out of open source fanaticism than financial reasons.

      Yeah I didnt abandon Plex because I couldn’t afford it. I have a number of gripes with plex but as long as it remained free I had no strong motivated to get rid of it. Now that I would have to pay though I have no interest in keeping it around. I am quite happy with jellyfin even if it may lack polish on some of its facets and I regularly accept inconvenience to uphold my own operating philosphies.
