There is a notable vibe shift from when I showed a date my plex setup 5 years ago to now. Awhile back it was ick-inducing, now it's cool again to own your data / not pay for crap.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoIdeally it will look from the outside like people are abandoning the internet when really what they're abandoning is the web (that's the sick part anyhow) and moving the rest of their digital lives into a vpn-mediated sub-internet made of the participation of people that each user knows via face-to-face interactions.
- donatj 2y agoWhen normies started asking me how to set up their own Plex, I knew something had shifted.
- kouru225 2y agoAnecdotal, but I’ve met like 3 or 4 new plex people in the last year. They’re all just starting out.
- Carrok 2y agoYou should encourage them to move to Jellyfin. It's better, and actually free.
- MarcelOlsz 2y agoBetter how? Lots of seedbox provides still don't offer Jellyfin.
- defrost 2y agoMany do .. and many offer docker and howto guides. https://seedboxes.cc/ https://seedboxes.cc/ https://dediseedbox.com/wiki/knowledgebase/jellyfin/ https://dediseedbox.com/wiki/knowledgebase/jellyfin/ https://www.rapidseedbox.com/blog/jellyfin-vs-plex https://www.rapidseedbox.com/blog/jellyfin-vs-plex .. etc.
- MarcelOlsz 2y agoYou're right. Plex is rolling out some plex-pass crap and jumping their pricing from 120 to 250usd for a lifetime pass. Hard pass for me, installed Jellyfin last night.
- _factor 2y agoBad play, move them to plex first, much easier and still converted. Once they’re used to plex, then have the Jellyfin discussion.
- hattmall 2y agoWow, that's funny I've heard a few of my friends lately talk about Plex servers and stuff. I'm just like, uhm Plex was like 10 yrs ago! But would be interesting to see how Plexs numbers have grown lately.
