Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

yeah as a former plex user I can confirm the setup is way more annoying. for me "just works" means I spin up the container, point it at my media library, and I'm done. never had to make an online account or pay for anything with jellyfin. I agree with ppl that say the plex web UI and native apps are more polished but that's about the only positive

    Not it's mostly about remote access anywhere without VPN. Forcing your friends and family to use a VPN to access a jellyfin instance securely is not something everyone is willing to do (and might be impossible on some devices).
