OK, so, this is me talking.
This is an old interview that resurfaces lately (no idea why), and it was done by a HR company, and they did a lot of cuts. So, it is far from being technically accurate, and some parts are quite weird.
Clearly not for the HN crowd, tbh.
I dislike those kind of interviews, because they focus on one person (people-isation trend that we see also in startups) while VLC was done by a collective.
It is sure that I'm the person that spent the most time on VLC and other VideoLAN projects than anyone else, but the work is a collective one.
Yes, it is true that I refused a ton of money to either sell the trademark and domain-name, or to include adware/spyware in the Windows installer.
(inb4 mpv, mpc-hc, potplayer is better...)
