So basically, I’m in a no-win situation. I’ve had people gripe and complain since I first released my edits about how big they are. I find a solution and now I have gripes about how everyone won’t be able to view them. At what point do I get to decide how I want to release them and not piss someone off?

Here’s what I got to say about things. F’ck everyone and what they say. You do you, as you see fit. Period. You are the one who is putting in the effort and not a single person has any right or privilege to either complain or make “heavy handed” suggestions about how you present the results to the world. In fact, anyone who does doesn’t deserve to get the links that you provide. They complain about larger file size? Screw them. They should get faster Internet. What if they can’t get faster Internet. Not your problem as they are getting a vastly superior product for free that they spent absolutely no effort in creating. They want another encode? Screw them. They can use handbrake to re-encode to another format and adjust whatever compression/file size parameters they see fit. They are benefiting from your efforts and have no right to say anything about it whatsoever.
I have enjoyed your efforts before you took a break and appreciate the results immensely. I am definitely looking forward to your updates, but that does not give me the right to tell you how to present your work. Nor does it give anyone else the right either.
Thank you for your efforts. It is not fair for others to complain or make you feel pressured for doing what you enjoy and for allowing others to see the fruits of your labor. Please ignore anyone who complains and add them to a “NOT TO GIVE LINKS TO” list and move on.
