As an atheist, I cringe at nearly every post I see from that community. Makes me want to punch teenage neckbeard me in the face

That is not relevant to the subject at hand, because the cost of living and social support systems vary so widely between the US and the rest of the world. Without knowing anything else about your locale, I can only speculate that your restaurant industry is either far more exploitative than the US and keeps prices low by underpaying workers, or the people who profit from the businesses are slightly less greedy and allow a more generous portion of the budget to be allotted for pay.

Different things are different, I’m talking about the United States

Tips may have been that way a hundred years ago but I’ve been in the restaurant industry in the US for over 15 years, and for the duration tips have been used as a means to offload labor costs to the customer. They are not optional for the majority of people who work for tips, they are the difference between paying bills and not.

The practice is antiquated and should be completely removed as the standard way to compensate restaurant workers. But the thing that anti tippers always seem to miss is that the labor costs will still be there and the owners are not going to take it out of their cut. The menu prices will per force go up when companies get rid of tips. The same people will be complaining about that just as loudly, I’m willing to bet.

As I said in another comment, it’s a bad system, but if you don’t tip, you’re a bad person.

It’s a bad system but you are a bad person if you don’t tip.

Thanks for mentioning trash guides. As I mentioned in my other reply, it helped me get everything set up easily.

Thanks for this! I didn’t know about symlinks so with the help of the trash guides site the other poster mentioned I was able to get it set up.

It’s not perfect and it’ll be a minor chore to refresh the libraries but it’s better than it was.

Also, in the process I discovered that I am dumb, and I overlooked the “mixed movies and TV” option when adding my library before. I just added the same one twice, once as movies and once as TV. It worked for Plex but obviously caused issues in jellyfin. Doing it the correct way also gave me the no frills directory structure style that I was looking for. I’m using the symlinks for now but if I get tired of the upkeep my friends will just have to deal with the slightly less aesthetic version.

Actual unpopular opinion: get yt premium. It gives creators the money they would’ve got for you watching an ad, while giving you an ad free experience, and also includes yt music which might take some adjustments if you’re used to Spotify, but then you will also not be supporting Spotify which is probably the worst streaming service in terms of paying artists.

(They’re all bad and many people would argue similarly against supporting Google via YouTube, so perhaps it’s a moot point, but that’s part of how I justify my sub to myself anyways.)
