I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

I haven’t read to far into this but the issue is completely devoid of contributors and maintainers. I find the wording of the issue quite concerning:
This is free software, they don’t owe you anything and this kind of language sounds angry and entitled. You can’t just Gordon Ramsay on someone else’s codebase.
I cannot fathom what in this issue description gives rise to your concern. It’s worded very calmly, clearly explaining why the author thinks these BLOBs shouldn’t be there, expressing an understanding that it’s not a top priority and even closing with a thank you.
Is this not rude:
And this:
We didn’t like it when MS made an issue trying to direct ffmpeg
They should have opened with a complement or asked for directions if they didn’t know. In this message “Thank You” means fuck all
Actually you can and should Gordon Ramsey all over it. It is the duty of audience members to express how they feel honestly about the artwork.
Open Source can and do understand that and open source software becomes better for it.
I’m not saying don’t criticise it. It’s about communication. The language isn’t very good. See my other comments
I mean, people are allowed to have opinions. They may not be good opinions but thats the glory of opinions. You can Gordon Ramsey someone’s codebase, and someone else can Gordon Ramsey their comment, as you just did.
I didn’t say they’re wrong it’s the way they communicated which I found off-putting and Gordon Ramsay -esque
I mean the author has simply ignored this issue. If you look into it there are a few that people simply do not know how to generate, so without the maintainer it’s impossible to make a PR solving this.
I mean if I got an issue that sounded that entitled and this is something I do in my spare time, I’d probably ignore it.
My point is they could have worded it better and it might have gotten a response. If you ask kindly about the BLOBs and maybe for some help to push you in the right direction instead of saying “I don’t know”, then it is fair to call the maintainer rude for ignoring it completely.
