I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.
No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

It's like saying Immich is bad because you don't need to own storage or hardware for Google Photos. I know that. But it's not a valid point of discussion when talking about open source self hosted software.
Also, you don't need to open any ports. Just use tailscale. If you're a bit more technically savvy, set up a reverse proxy. It's honestly not that hard. Tailscale is just an app that you install. Why is everyone acting like it's complicated? Am I missing something?
But we're not talking about open source self hosted software. We're in a piracy community. And I'm certainly not saying that Jellyfin is "bad" (as you suggest), only trying to paint a picture why Plex still has a place in my stack.
Yes, exposing Jellyfin safely isn't too difficult, but it isn't trivial either. Plex's strength has traditionally been (and still is, if decreasingly) its relay making remote streaming trivial. And if you intend to share with non-technical users, it has to be.
