SnapEDA is a pox upon the industry attempting to be yet another middleman in between you and parts libraries.

Unfortunately, companies like SnapEDA bring negative value to the industry because they produce crappy libraries that you can't trust.

So, they reduce pressure on the parts vendor to produce a decent symbol/model. At the same time, I can't trust the symbol/model until I check it personally and run it through a project. And, finally, some contract terms generally prohibit me from redistributing that symbol (go check the terms you agreed to when you signed up).

SnapEDA and their ilk need to die in a fire.
