Likewise nobody is owed good feelings by users

If they can’t do anything better than jellyfin which is fully free open source I don’t see why they should expect money. If Photoshop were paid for gimp they certainly wouldn’t deserve anything.

I think the bad feelings are by virtue of taking away something that WAS free. This is just basic human psych people are loss averse.

Why not just join non-political communities and focus on the content that they enjoy. If people are nervous about meeting assholes on the internet perhaps they should stick to cable tv or netflix.
