I remember being excited when it first came out, but then as we know capitalism happened and ruined it. Im all jellyfin now. But was plex originally starting out to be a good thing or was it just to trick us into being locked into their service after we all got on it?

    After I set up my server and paid for the hardware, after my vpn, and after I paid for my Usenet subscription, and yeah, after I paid for lifetime Plex. I’m money ahead. Easily.

    I have no Netflix, Hulu, apple, Amazon. All of it. ,that’s a monthly sub for each. That’s satellite tv money each month!

    It’s not a rug pull. I got my money’s worth. And I’m late to the game. God forbid you are an early bird and have been living the high life for years and years! It’s not a rug pull at all.

    If the whole thing folded tomorrow, I’m still money ahead and a few steps away from adopting jellyfin. How the fuck is that a rug pull? It did what I wanted and has done it well. And when or if it fails, I move on. That’s more resiliency than 99 percent of the other services I have used. And a better service and platform to boot!

    Rug pull? seriously?
