... but I pretty strongly disagree with this.

Let's assume that I care about kittens. After all, we all know Youtube is
the biggest video website in the world, and Youtube is filled primarily
with cat videos. We should care about kittens, it's the center of our
industry. Can I now advertise for my local kitten shelter on ffmpeg.org
using a popup, banner or news post?

Again, please: no advertising, no politics. It was fun while it lasted but
it's turning into something semi-permanent now, I really have significant
issues with this.

Ronald
