As I said, the contribution is good, it's the communication via this blog post that I don't entirely like. It could have been different. It could have acknowledged better ways of engaging with ffmpeg (that would've benefitted both Meta and ffmpeg/the community, not _just_ ffmpeg).
But corporate blog posts often go this way. I'm not mad at them or anything. Just a mild dislike ;)
I’ll take it. Metas purpose isnt to help the community, it’s to make money. Sucks to hear that out loud, but that is how capitalism works.
But you can use that to steer Meta. Explain how doing x (which also helps the community) makes them more money.
Yeah, I see what you mean. It basically shows that they contributed to ffmpeg purely because it helped them, but then they wrote this post to get good will for that contribution.
:thumbs-up:
I'm glad to know that outcomes are affected by having pure intentions. /s
