jellyfin doesn’t. and your shows never go to another streamer. oh and you can watch them when the internet goes out. oh and they don’t track your watching habits.

why are you watching paramount netflix hulu peacock again?

    Isn't Jellyfin something you have to run on your own server? It's not comparable to normal streaming services in any shape or form.

    That's the point..

    It's very comparable to "normal streaming services", just better in every way imaginable, provided you set up the backend with supporting services

    So it's like a party where you're responsible for building the venue, providing the entertainment, the refreshments, and the party itself.

    Yeah super comparable.

    (Just to clarify I'm not defending shitty streaming services and I sail the seas myself, just can't stand people with their "iTs JuSt ThAt EaSy" attitudes when it comes to certain things or trying to convince people that don't have the kind of expertise or resources to do the thing they're pushing)

    It is comparable because they fill the same service.

    It just needs more configuration on your end. Unless you can join a friend who has setup their own.

    That configuration is a bit of a deal though.

    A big part of it is discovery. I discover a lot of movies and TV shows by browsing what's avaliable. With Jellyfin I need to plan ahead instead of pushing the magic button and doomscrolling until I pick something.
