Some times I think maybe humanity has reached too far with technology. You're absolutely right, lots of people get easily confused over even very simple things. It's depressing to think about.
We're all specializing in different things, and sometimes we get stretched thin. It's understandable that most people have a hard time with more technical aspects of the digital world (and even the simpler aspects of it, due to constant innovations and paradigm shifts), but in this scenario in specific, it can pay off to be the more knowledgeable technical user, since you could set up Plex with *arr services to automate everything, and then just serve Plex on a golden platter to friends and family. It's what I'm doing, recently set up Overseerr and friends are already using it to request content, and a couple of other friends are helping with moderating request and fixing minor issues on Radarr and Sonarr. I'm even getting donations from them in order to expand storage and improve infrastructure. It's great, and I strive to ease the subscription cost burden of those around me.
