I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.
No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

Similarly, I have a Plex lifetime license.
I think my biggest hurdle for Jellyfin is setting up a VPS for all my self hosted services. Currently I use Cloudflare Tunnels, which is easy but I'd like to get away from it because Cloudflare and it doesn't allow for streaming services to run on it.
I'll spin up Jellyfin and see how Swiftfin is on the Apple TV. If I feel it has minimal friction I'll try and make the jump.
With regards to spreading the good word of self hosting, I've had the best luck just offering good services to those around me. Spliit, HomeAssistant, and Immich have been easy to get my partner to use. Then I just happen to say "oh yeah, this is running on my server btw". The holy grail would be to convince my friends to use Fluxer or something instead of Discord.
