Meh, it's no extra clicks to get what you want on Plex once you actually configure your home to show what you want. I just pushed all those options down to the bottom of my home list, but you can just as easily remove them entirely. IDGAF about bloat. Those are just features I'm not using. I'm sure I use features somebody else doesn't care for. Besides, the "bloat" you're referring to is mostly just free streaming content from various channels collected in one searchable app I already have. I'd never stream any of that shit if it wasn't on Plex already. Reminding me that a show I pirated is available on a streaming service I actually pay for is actually kinda neat. It means I can go watch it there to support it, while making sure I've got it in the format I want and where I want.

I'm all for diversity in our self-host streaming software and fully support Jellyfish, but let's not pretend that the latest halfbaked option is superior because it has fewer features and is less polished. Plex used to kinda suck, lots of features have gotten better. Saying Jellyfin is just like what Plex used to be is not a compliment.

If you want to complain about Plex at least point to something truly awful, like needing Internet access to access local media because of the way Plex account authentication works or the botched and ill conceived rollout of social media features.
