>They’re tools, not sports teams. It’s kind of weird that they’ve developed fanbases.

Heads up but insulting critics by basically calling them weird obsessed fans is not a good PR strategy. Just saying. Personally I try to avoid companies that do that since I don't know when I may end up on the receiving end for some perceived slight.

edit: Also, odd to name it YOLOv5 presumably due to the strong brand appeal of that name, and then to go and insult people for that brand appeal.

Yes, noted and agreed. In retrospect that came off a bit strong and I can see why it fanned the flames.

Re the edit: we didn't name it, we just reported on it using the name that its creator chose.
