I am definitely not saying that ffmpeg *is* slop now, there's a hell of a lot of work that isn't slop.
But I don't love splitting hairs about how much an OSS project has intentionally been made worse! I would rather be able to say "hey, this cool project is cool, and no one went and fucked it up for no goddamned reason."

[Complete side note, their Anubis difficulty is set incredibly high, I wonder how much they're getting hit by scraper DDoSes.]

@xgranade@wandering.shop I should send them a C&D. They have GPL code for which I'm the copyright holder and I do not license it to be linked with GPL-incompatible slop.
