It’s cause on Windows, VLC will play ~~MKV~~ HEVC files from their iPhones without needing a $2 payment for codecs.

Not all heroes wear capes…
Jean-Baptiste Kempf, the creator and lead developer of the VLC Media Player, has famously turned down multiple multi-million dollar offers to sell the software or introduce advertisements. As the president of the non-profit organization VideoLAN, Kempf prioritized user experience, privacy, and open-source principles over personal financial gain.Â
**Key Details of the Decision:**
* **The Offers:**Â Kempf reportedly refused offers in the tens of millions of dollars from major corporations.
* **The Reason:**Â He aimed to keep VLC completely free, open-source, and ad-free, without any user tracking or hidden costs.
* **User-First Philosophy:**Â Kempf has stated that he did not want to “betray” users by monetizing the platform, which is used by billions worldwide.
* **Funding Model:**Â Instead of selling, the VideoLAN project relies on donations to maintain the software.Â
Kempf’s decision has made him a celebrated figure in the tech community, often cited as a rare example of prioritizing ethics over profit

I love VLC, been with her ever since Winamp dumped me. However, she recently had a small makeover, which I’m not too fond of, but I try not to judge too much after all we’ve been through.
