I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.
No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

Accessibility mostly... Plex' centralized account system allows for your average person to set up and account, accept the invite to my library, and they are done. The lift required to get those same people to use Jellyfin would prompt them to never use it again.
Which honestly is my eventual end game anyway... Once Plex pulls the lifetime pass out from under me I plan to turn my media library internally with Jellyfin and a HTPC.
Jellyfin has largely the same, although I've never used Plex so maybe I'm wrong on that. It's a pain for the host to setup and get going with jellyfin for multiple users with auth (speaking from experience), but it's a do once have forever setup.
