For those looking for alternatives, I would only suggest Plex if you're OK with hitching your wagon to a different company with interests possibly competing with your own. Its great software and easy to set up but they can remove features you like and use at any time. It may be a risk worth taking for you but go into it with eyes open. I dropped them when they removed photo sync and started getting more aggressive about their content offerings.

Jellyfin is my current home and I like it a lot but I recognize that not everyone wants to deal with the setup and troubleshooting.

For some middle ground, there's also Emby which is a commercial version of Jellyfin.

So like, there's this Gate, right?

What is a snoo?

I'm a subscriber and received no such notification. This is the first I'm hearing of it.

Isn't ipfs in alpha right now?

I bought a Fully desk 7 or 8 years ago and its still in my top 5 purchases ever. I use it constantly for work and leisure.

Has it gotten better at other stuff? Are you posing a possible scenario or asserting a fact? Would be curious about specific measurements if the later.

Would you personally believe a company if it told you what it's internal motivations were? For me I guess it would depend on the company but I struggle to think of a company that I would trust in this regard. That's especially true when it comes to tech companies which often are operate unprofitably for long stretches of time with the assumption being that they'll be able to make massive profits in the future.

The answer might surprise you!
