    Idk, Plex knows Jellyfin exists, and they know that their server users are experienced enough to make the switch if needed. Without the people running servers, they are just a shitty Netflix spinoff in an already over saturated market.

    I think the most likely route that Plex will take is the one they have already started to—exploiting the non-server-running users to accidentally make use of the streaming and rental services. I’ve had total dolts in my sharing community who were logged out for a month and then asking me why Plex had adds all of a sudden.

    I’m somewhat ok with this. Users who can’t tell the difference between being logged in and logged out are going to get what they get. If they’d just make library the default view over recommended again, we’d be totally square.
