I didn't omit anything. I focused on a sentence you led with. More importantly, I definitely don't care whether or not you enjoy Plex. I left that ecosystem 4 years ago because the writing was on the wall, now Jellyfin blows it out of the water performance wise. Didn't even have to pay for the pithy Plex Pass!

> I was stating that running your own media server (no matter the software) is better than using the streaming services.

Maybe you should have stated that in the first place...? It is certainly clearer in terms of the message. Nobody said you can't talk about Plex, just that it is weird to lead with "I paid for this!" on a thread about free software that isn't what you paid for. If you didn't pay for Plex pass, your comment would fit better. If the Geerling article was about Plex, your comment would fit better, but it wasn't, and it doesn't.
