Kostya (ex-FFmpeg developer)'s take on the behaviour of the FFmpeg twitter account:
https://codecs.multimedia.cx/2025/11/ffpropaganda/it’s very… sad, i guess, watching a lot of software engineering discourse on social media (at least, what I see from Twitter) just become this attention grabbing shitposting. ffmpeg is very much a big player in this field, and it has paid off handsomely - those tweets are often popular on site, and shared across other social media.
> paid off handsomely
Paid off how? Did they get more funding? More contributors?
