That doesn't many any sense, because I just specifically told you that it doesn't matter to anyone but you whether or not you use Jellyfin... If it mattered to me, then yeah, sure. I'd be a zealot. But I don't give a shit what you personally use.

Also, pointing out the fact that Jellyfin is pretty indisputably better for people in this specific space isn't zealotry. It's just good common sense.

    I think you missed the part where I said that the zelots completely ignore the legitimate reason why people use it over JF. Same reason I use it.

    Also you can literally opt out of the data sharing, the button is right there. And if you don't live in a corporate shit hole like the US, data protections make sure that they won't use it without your consent or even store it because it's protected PII.

    For now. It's always for now. You used to be able to opt out of Google data sharing too. And Reddit's. And Microsoft's. And Apple's. And your Credit Cards... The list goes on and on and on and on and on.

    Soon as a large company realizes that they can vertically increase revenue by selling your data it ceases being an option. A realization that Plex will very soon learn because they've begun to sell data "optionally" for now. Then by next year, or maybe even the year after that it'll no longer be optional.

    It always goes this way. Always. I can't even think of a single antithetical example.
