> for people who aren't in audio codec dev space

You don’t need to be in the audio codec dev space to have heard of one of the most widespread audio codecs of the last decade (used by YouTube, WhatsApp, SoundCloud and added to WebM in 2013).

Sure, you could've heard about it outside of that space. Yet, most likely, you have not.

It just feels wrong when HN commenters downvote comments that try to clear up legitimate confusion.
