I'm going to shill any particular media server, I'm sure you're perfectly capable of comparing and selecting on your own, nor an I trying to suggest that any will have the same feature set or all the features you wish for out of the box. I'm only expressing surprise that people, particularly people in the homelabbing/self-hosting community, are still using a product like Plex
Why are you perplexed people will still use something they paid $10 for a decade ago that still works for exactly what they need? Sure, don't start with it now, but why stop if there isn't anything wrong with how they need to using it? This is going to sound instigating but I truly would like to understand, what drives you to make multiple comments on a subject with no impact on your life what-so-ever just to put people down?
Well, initially I made a comment saying I was surprised, because I am continuously surprised by it, very simple. And then I continued to comment in response to others who were responding to me.
I never meant to put anyone down, and I've reread all my comments and I do not see how any of comments were putting people down? (except perhaps for Plex corporate, but I don't care how companies feel)
It was more the overall tone of the comments than the words themselves. But that could be an anchoring bias based on your "I'm always amazed " comment that comes across as belittling those who choose to continue to use their Plex service.
Upon re-read in a neutral context the other comments are indeed not putting anyone down. My apologies
