    For those looking for alternatives, I would only suggest Plex if you’re OK with hitching your wagon to a different company with interests possibly competing with your own. Its great software and easy to set up but they can remove features you like and use at any time. It may be a risk worth taking for you but go into it with eyes open. I dropped them when they removed photo sync and started getting more aggressive about their content offerings.

    Jellyfin is my current home and I like it a lot but I recognize that not everyone wants to deal with the setup and troubleshooting.

    For some middle ground, there’s also Emby which is a commercial version of Jellyfin.

    I hate Netflix as much as you guys do and I think their content is dogshit, but you’re naive if you think they’re going under any time soon. Their revenue increased from the password sharing ban crap, and it’s likely only like 1% of people used the 720p plan anyway. Netflix is ass but financially they’re chillin.

        They have a ton of reality tv dogshit content that a ton of female subscribers love lol. Personally i hate it but i bet all of our gfs/wives love that shit. Unfortunately you should expect all of the streaming platforms to lean into that bullshit, especially with the writers strike. It will be interesting to see how many people cancel their plans once all of the good shows dry up due to the strike. We are going to be in a content desert for like 2 years at least.

        Edit: lol why the actual fuck was I down voted? For criticizing Netflix? Huh??

            Why are people upset with that comment? A lot of girls and women watch reality TV. I thought that was obvious…Reality TV’s main target audience is females. I’m not trying to be disrespectful or anything lol. It’s just an objective fact.
