I've been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it's time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

They're just driving us to self hosted content quicker. Honestly if you can afford a NAS like a Synology or an Asustor, setting up Plex is so easy.

Some edits to this comment:

It's surprisingly easy to do this versus most other custom configurations. You don't even have to build a PC and setup holds your hand.
This is NOT including obtaining content, I was simply saying "Getting Plex running".
There are other configs you may need to get Plex the way you want, but watching your content on your local network effectively is complete once you complete the standard setup.

You vastly over estimate the willingness of people to learn how a computer works.

I self host so much stuff but like.. the amount of time and effort that’s gone into that.. maybe $10 or $20 a month totally makes sense after all to most people haha

I'm definitely not saving money by self hosting, but it's a fun way to drain my bank account.
