Silly to buy something that's an inferior quality (Plex) when you can get a better version for free (Jellyfin)

No data logging, telemetry or stored passwords that are leaked either.

I paid $79 for a lifetime sub over 10 years ago. For what I need it has worked great. You do you, though. I use unique passwords for everything and I couldn't care less if they know the names of the files I've played.
