I'm always enormously impressed with efforts to move the dial when it comes to RTE, but slightly depressed when you see that it involves Facebook/Meta.

Solid engineers work at all kinds of places and are capable of producing really cool stuff no matter where they are working. Don't judge something too much by its sponsors, IMO!
LZ4 and ZStd were started by Yann Collet (the main author) quite some time before he was hired by Facebook/Meta.
Don’t worry, they track everything compressed with zstd and render appropriate advertisements to you using that data.
please - out of all the tech giants the one constant is Meta delivers insane technology beyond their social networks. They are the goats of shipping cool shit.
For the low low price of your soul and personal data
Whatcpersonal data does zstd collects?
did I say zstd collects personal data? no. I was commenting on someone praising Facebook as a whole
RTE?
Runtime or real-time encoding is my guess.
