I honestly have a really hard time believing that the reason newspapers are so expensive to run these days is due to web hosting costs—I would imagine that most of their budget is spent on staffing (though I couldn't find a budget brea

That's weird, I had a different experience: I definitely heard about Plex the most, but often in a negative light. The alternative presented (again, in my experience) was always Jellyfin.
