Reminder that all libaom versions are named after My Little Pony characters. Anytime you watch a video encoded in AV1 you are consuming My Little Pony content

I don't know if this is meant as a warning, or a "ha, fuck you!", or an attempt to spark outrage, or to make us all cozy inside.

I've never watched the shit so it's hard for me to tell.
