Less time on it means less chance to get addicted. It becomes less standard to have it out around friends

Kids shouldn't be stressing about the shit that comes up in social media feeds or the insecurities social media preys on. It's also not a choice, because if some kids use it and others can't the others will feel excluded.

While I agree, it's also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don't make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work

Here's some thoughts I posted on a different post https://lemmy.world/comment/15822959 I was running jellyfin off the same server and hardware as Plex, yet it's less efficient and performant.

In a world where everything is optimised to give you immediate rewards and happiness an act that is a bit frustrating to start with or that requires a modicum of effort will lose out to those temptations, unless you make an extra effort to stick to a schedule to rewire your brain to get used to it as part of a routine

Sure but it's not the closest experience to Arc

The democrats have less votes because their policies are platitudes and austerity at the expense of the working people and in service to party donors. It's not for a lack of leftist sentiment, as Bernie himself still has quite a bit of a following in spite being independent

I care more about people being properly rewarded in this capitalistic world than worry about the open source world.

Cool then buy at least one copy of a book instead of pirating them.

What's wrong with just using tidal in a browser? Zen just added a media player widget too so it's almost like having a native app that's always controllable on screen

Oh don't get me wrong it does the job and if I didn't already have a lifetime Plex pass I'd highly consider it over Plex for being free, I just don't think it does it better than Plex (with a Plex pass)

Honestly I've tried jellyfin and I have a hard time agreeing with this for a few reasons:

• UI generally more unresponsive than Plex;
• changes to correct a show/movie being assigned the wrong show/movie metadata very slow to propagate if at all, same for changing other library options like title language preference;
• generally slower to buffer and get into videos;
• very rough android lollipop UI;
• not as easy to set up tech illiterate friends for play together.

I'll give you that morally jellyfin is less customer-adverse than Plex management is at the moment and it is more open in some ways so you can have more plugins and add-ons that Plex lacks, and sure it's a free product so it should be given some leeway.

... but if I just listened to all of the people saying jellyfin is just so much better I'd think it was an objectively better offering, but it's not. When it comes to what I care about, it fell short, so just giving my 2 cents. Still worth trying, considering you can just point it to the same media folders, and maybe there's a good proposition if you don't already have a Plex pass, but if you do and you're looking to migrate it's a tougher sell.
