FFmpeg is a great project but their twitter is embarrassing and should not be news

Why, their Twitter seems reasonable and combative towards companies who want to exploit their results without contribution ?

This take sounds great until you realize this is literally Google using their resources to help an open source project (by reporting issues in it that ALREADY EXIST and NEED to be fixed OR users made aware if not fixed) AND they also help them by upstreaming patches (just not for this specific issue) regularly AND with monetary support.

So...your entire premise is patently false and wrong.
