My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What's the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven't found a good community here.

Most people aren’t paying anywhere near $50/mo, and the headache from hosting and time $avings from letting someone else do it is worth it.

x to doubt - most services I see listed here are at least a combined amount of $30+ which over a period of 5 years, it's far cheaper to buy the hardware once, set it up once, and be done with it. Bonus, in 5 years if you really did eat up 16tb of data you can just add one more 8tb hard drive for the cost of 4 months of streaming.

I personally get really frustrated with linux and self-hosting is a pain in the ass, I enjoy it, but it's a pain. Self-hosting something like plex is completely different. Set it up once right the first time and you forget about it forever.
