Hi! I thought of it as a niche feature because I thought most of the users would come from language learning communities, where most people are not into self-hosting. So even if someone would set up a server just for this, chances are they do not have or interested in Jellyfin also. But I've seen several comments about it, and it seems like a lot of people are from the self-hosting community so maybe it's more popular. I'm also planning to support YouTube and improve on Jellyfin support, but I'll work on other issues and features first.

Well, part of it is being on Hacker News, which will definitely skew towards "self-host everything!", and on top of that Jellyfin is genuinely free and open-source while the more popular alternative (Plex) isn't, so probably more popular here again, and not necessarily reflective of the popularity amongst self-hosters in general! I definitely wouldn't expect it to be high on the list of priorities, but I do appreciate that it's under consideration at the very least.
