I appreciate and respect your rant, have been there

However in interest of both of us getting some good out of this how about if you face an issue next, Open an issue? If you can fix it as a community contribution then gold standard, but even opening an issue will tell them where the problem is

While they’re trying to ‘hog’ the users for their experience it can also be looked at as a way of democratising AI. There were MANY ML APIs that I just used HuggingFace for because I don’t understand ML itself so just call Hug and get the job done. I can understand why it’s buggy when the ecosystem itself moves so fast that you have to add features faster than you can fix old ones

So you know I relate, so in interest of getting shit done so to say, let’s try to fix it. Opening an issue, fixing the issue, writing competitive similar libraries, EVEN AS LITTLE AS participating productively in the issues discussions or GitHub discussions (if there is) will actually be a step in direction of getting it done
