I feel like I’m extra neutral then. I pay for P+ and Netflix but still “y’arr!” the shows I want to watch simply for the convenience. Would much rather use my own Emby server than have to switch through and navigate their clunky apps.
I pay for 4 streaming services AND Cable and still pull everything down to Jellyfin/Plex.
We also pay for Apple Music, and I keep a copy of all the music we listen to and have playlists.
I am completely down for paying for content because I want it made, but I’ll be damned if I’m letting them take it away from me because an executive needs another yacht or two multi-millionaires are squabbling over rights.
Plex is getting worse and worse for me. All the new “services” they keep trying to push with content I don’t want and now I can’t remove from my home pages…
I also use jellyfin but for personal content. I’ll have to look into moving everything for the whole family over - and get them used to a new app/website. The situation is becoming untenable.
All the cool kids watch Star Trek in the neutral zone.

Same here. Haven’t used Emby but the Plex interface is just so much better than any streaming service.

Laughs in Jellyfin… But seriously, as soon as Plex went mandatory login for local content, i noped out…

Yeah I’ll have to make the jump soon
I do exactly the same. The convenience of Emby is just too nice.
“The neutral zone” is a great euphemism for “The Pirate Bay”
If you value having a computer free of malware, there are much better indexes than The Pirate Bay.
Such as The Orion Bay
How do you get malware from downloading a media file?
You’re right; I should’ve been more specific. Even though a malicious payload can be embedded in media files given the right vulnerability to make use of it, I’m referring to malvertising, which is still a problem on piracy sites. This happened not too long ago on The Pirate Bay’s many clones, and TPB itself notoriously served its users ransomware in 2016.
This is why ad-blockers are an essential security tool for everyone, whether they care about ads or not.
