The start of ads seems to always lead to a path of enshitification. One of the reasons I really like jellyfin is because they realized this and intentionally disabled recurrent donations. They saw what it does to Plex and saw the eventually the leadership's will try to sell out and sell the company or IPO.

Jellyfin saw the way every service seemed to go once the revenue picked up and decided they want to prevent that.
