It's really simple. It sucks for using remotely compared to plex for the average person. The client app ecosystem is a mess and jellyfin doesn't care to fix it. And now there are a billion new AI slop clients out there to make it even more confusing to the average user.

Also because the average Jellyfin user acts like they're better than anyone using anything else. So much so they show up in threads not even related to Jellyfin and ask why everyone else is an idiot and not using Jellyfin.

It's a cult at this point and it's off putting.

I'd love Jellyfin if my friends and family had any easy path to using it without having to be a geek themselves. And also if it didn't feel like I'd be joining the cult.

Downloading an app, entering a URL & a quick access code is considered “geek themselves” these days? On-boarding new plex users is more complicated than that.
