That is quite the one-sided representation of the Jellyfin vs Pkex debate. The issue with Plex is that it adds a single point of failure to self hosted streaming which doesn’t really help for being independent
It’s kind of like you are making green knights point for them right now.
I Jean yeah, the Discussion exists and it is very present and annoying but the way it was mentioned in the comment just isn’t fair. It displays one side as completely fact based and thus immune to criticism and the other being based on personal emotions and thus not being rational. Either depict a conflict in a fair way or don’t mention it at all. It just poisons the discussion
