Anecdotal, but I’ve met like 3 or 4 new plex people in the last year. They’re all just starting out.

Wow, 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.

You should encourage them to move to Jellyfin. It's better, and actually free.

Better how? Lots of seedbox provides still don't offer Jellyfin.

Many do .. and many offer docker and howto guides.

You'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.

Bad play, move them to plex first, much easier and still converted. Once they’re used to plex, then have the Jellyfin discussion.
