0-popularity, not 0-streams, which are two different metrics according to the archive blog post. But nevertheless, the re-encoded stuff is stuff pretty much no one will miss. Also Opus at 75kbps is much better than Vorbis or mp3 at that bitrate.

This needs to be pointed out more in all posts related to the guy, and in YouTube too. Scummy shit like his programs were quite common back then but the way he acts around that topic now deserves all the hate imo.

Haven’t watched any of his videos since I learned what he was but what I’ve heard they’re all AI slop now too, like this one appears to be as well based on the description. I wish nothing but shit for this guy.

This is ALSO a guy behind many of those ”your PC is at risk” scams back in the day, selling useless optimization tools that extorted money from victims. He specifically quit Microsoft to pursue that and was even convicted later. Still chooses to downplay and try to hide what he did.
