If I had an open source program that is being used by fuckers like Google, who can afford to pay but don’t, and then come in and demand shit. I’d just ignore them and pretend they don’t exist and continue with my life. Let them bark until they’re blue in the face. But first I’d put this as the first line in the README.md “if you’re a big corporation and need help, come with money. Otherwise, please don’t bother me”.
Not only that they have the money, but Google is actively working to lock down their streaming platform (YouTube) against third-parties and they have basically yanked the rug for their OS platform, while adding requirements for developers to sideload.
Their entire direction is antagonistic and in opposition to the core concepts of FOSS
I’m going to be the asshole here. And? If I’m not getting paid, then why should I care? It’s a hobby project that I made for fun in my free time. Unless this is my living then, I’d understand what you’re saying.

Yup. Fuck google.
The main issue there is that project zero, where if you ignore what Google has reported, they will just go ahead and disclose the issue.
