Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

The things as open as a barns door, so you should not just open it to the public. Like I said, even the devs say not to do that, its just not secure enough
minus-squarefavoredponcho@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 hour agoYou’re just spreading fud. Jellyfin devs actually have documentation on how to expose it to the net. Why would they do that if it were unsafe?https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/ I’ve been using it this way for a couple years now and we are good. Never used Plex. I’m using only Jellyfin. So, I’ll pass on your advice. Thanks.
