JellyFin + your own media = ad free streaming. I detest ads and general streaming services. Whenever you want to talk about a show, you have to preface it with ‘what streaming service is it on’?
It’s still not bad if you’re buying old SAS drives. At this point, anything 4TB or less is fine, and for most people that’s plenty to start with.
If you’re ripping DVD and BluRay content, you probably will gobble up space quickly without re-encoding it, but otherwise you can store content from streaming services with ease.
My point was more that Stremio with debrid costs maybe $50/yr and requires minimal knowledge/maintenance, as well as having other benefits (depending on the debrid service.)
If you have zero care in the world about storing the media, Stremio makes much more sense imho.

And you can watch it when your internet is down.
Sure but that requires infrastructure. Have you seen the price of storage these days?

This will be the way for me going forward building storage and library. I’d rather don’t watch something than watch with ads.
