Prompted by Fox's $22 billion acquisition of Roku and concerns about increased advertising and data collection, the author fully committed to running a Jellyfin self-hosted media server. The switch consolidates all content in one ad-free place, eliminating app-hopping across streaming services. Tools like Sonarr and Radarr were added to streamline content discovery. The author acknowledges the trade-off: Jellyfin is free of ads but demands significant setup time and technical know-how, making it unsuitable for less tech-savvy users who prefer plug-and-play convenience.
