If it was a paid product, this line of reasoning would make sense. Having sub-optimal advertisement would be bad, since it would impact sales. The work would have been a pointless waste of time.
Since this is free code they're just giving away, the benefit from marketing it well is just not there. If it's great and you don't install it because it's marketed poorly, that's entirely your loss.
- deafpolygon 4y agoYou realize how insane that comment is, right? Regardless of sales, there is simply no indication or incentive for anyone to download it or try it out. What if it doesn't do what you imagine? Or changes something that breaks your system? What recourse then? Is it the end user's fault?

Or changes something that breaks your system? What recourse then? Is it the end user's fault? This is true even with screenshots and advertisement.
