You can find an excerpt in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWx1P93nS0c&t=51s
Transcribing the subtitles:
> "To be honest we’ve been offered some insane amounts of money to do bad stuff around VLC, like shipping tool bars at the same time of the installer of VLC or or installing other software like Google Chrome and so on. And when you see the numbers they propose to you, you’re just like: How the fuck am I going to say no to that?"
