Picking a tool is a very personal decision, and it depends on one's values and one's use.
This was using the local web server instance to manage permissions for users, so maybe every time my distro undated the web server software or something. Either way, for my use case it didn't work out of the box. JellyFun did and does. Every tool decision is personal.
Your experience doesn't nullify mine.
They state that they may share/sell certain data to vendors for targeted advertising (even though they offer an "ads" free experience).
They also log Email, username, IP address, device info, usage stats, etc.
I'm still using Plex. It still seems to be better for 90% of my use cases but I'd like to switch eventually. Unfortunately Jellyfin seems to be a lot of work upfront for which I don't currently have the time or motivation.

And that's fine. If you're not bothered by what others are, cool beans. Good for you.
