I just let my family and friends use my #jellyfin server and if there's something they want to let me know.
I can't imagine the electricity cost for 5 PB of storage though, God damn.
I used to have a NAS and run my own media server and honestly at some point it just became more labour intensive for little gain. I found a good Plex share that has more media than I can ever imagine or need and if there’s something missing (which is rare), I just request it and 24h later it’s up. I pay less than $20 for that plus IPTV and I have enough content to last me until I die lol.
+1 again to what Mancy said. I just pay for the convenience. But yeah, if it's not cumbersome for you to manage your own server then that's great too!
As for the cost, oof I can't even imagine. Besides, they have to make use of CDN services and what-not just so that the experience is consistent worldwide.
But then again, the server that I'm a part of has like 100 people paying every month, and this network is a consolidation of many such servers, so I think the costs and labor get distributed.
