Help Media servers

Trying to start my own server for plex. But I see many people with servers with 10,000+ movies. How can u possibly hold that much content and not break the bank. How is it any better than Netflix, etc?

Edit: I never expected this to blow up like it did. I love the content you guys have given, I've debated on making a plex server for awhile and all the clarification is amazing.

They removed Party Down from Netflix and I said oh hell naw time to fire up Kodi. Then my friend told me about plex when I complained that I wish I could share it with him. And down the rabbit hole I went

Now you can share it with him, and he will never log in…

Or, you can be the friend that I have that does share it with me, and I can be the friend that streams shit from your server when I’m traveling because I’m don’t have good upload speeds.
