I don't even use av1 for anything. 🤷

    Streaming sites use them so there's a solid chance you've used it plenty without actively choosing to

    I don't use it, I can't speak to anyone else using it. If YouTube is sending it out that's them using it. None of my files are that codec.

    Honestly, that's how the codec game works. Most people or software don't adopt until after the successor is in place. It's more about the software side lagging to adopt though. Nvidia just got AV1 into their hardware processing pipeline in the last 2 years. I think AMD is even more recent than that.

    that’s how the codec game works.

    That, and add some patent pools filled with dubious claims of essentiality, sales deals made under the threat of litigation, and ever-present claims of "twice as efficient it's predecessor" with a big asterisk. Fun times.

    Are you sure that's many people? Outside of the few tech savvy people I know, most lay people have no clue what h.264/5 are either. They know mp3 and that just means digital music to them.
