Why do you let other people dictate how you run your media server?
I don't. There's just a nontrivial number of people I care about that use Plex that don't know enough about technology to handle something like jellyfin.
Losing years of watched data isn't great, but ultimately it's small potatoes.
A big part of the reason I wanted to set up Plex to begin with, was so that my friends and family didn't have to waste their time downloading the stuff that all of us want to watch.
They don't demand anything, I want them to be able to use it because I care about those people. If switching to jellyfin is too difficult for the non-techs I care about, then I'll keep rolling with Plex.
It didn’t sound like they do. Just that at least one person complained but bought a Roku to fix.
