  • For convenience, it also doesn’t help that OSS is extremely hit and miss and inconsistent between developers.

    This includes:

    • App names
    • UI/UX
    • Features
    • Quality of life
    • Being a fucking dick to newcomers

    At the end of the day, regular people want something that just works™. They don’t want to have to dig through ancient tomes old form posts to figure out that a depreciated version of an app has been supersceeded by a slightly differently named version by a completely different dev that requires some weird dependencies that conflict with another app’s dependencies and everything just breaks at some point… It’s a pain in the ass.









  • Thinking about sound effects specifically, there are libraries, both paid and free, that you can find online. Those contain a whole bunch of various audio clips. The same general thing applies to graphics, video, and other stuff. That’s usually why you might hear the same effects in different media. Some video game devs might buy the same audio library and you’ll hear the same sound effect in their games. This goes way back to where you would buy CD packs of stock sounds or earlier.

    Just doing a quick search online for “sound effects library” took me to https://freesound.org/. I’ve never used it, but it might be good. There’s content all over the internet.

    “B-role” would be the term to use if you wanted stock video clips.
