I still use Plex, I have a lifetime pass and everything "just works" for my end users. Including Plexamp. Someday I expect to switch but it'll have to be when the end-user experience is just as easy and accessible.

Edit: Reading the article, even its author admits to sticking with Plex for now for similar reasons

    Same yeah, I've even got jellyfin set up in parallel in case Plex ever goes to shit, I still end up going for Plex 99% of the time currently

    I completely understand anyone that doesn't want to buy into it today, but the $75 I spent a decade and a half ago has been pretty good value for me

    A private company that knows you pirate media has your name and billing address and you're calm as a cucumber?

    All they know is what metadata is attached to the file. If you tag your home movies with metadata for the new Odyssey movie, you haven't broken any laws.
