Earlier quoted context omitted.

I mean, sure but I think it would be helpful to explain a couple of things. How it was decided which vendor is an alternative, what were the criteria etc How can this be kept up to date? Can I submit missing data, if so how? This isn't unique at all, so what sets this one apart from the others?

If you turn on showdead, you'll see OP's explanatory post.

Interesting, didn't know that existed...

I would've still put it in the submission itself but that makes sense

[vouch] for comment, if you have that option, it got caught in the noob green comment auto-flag filter (that is easily triggered).

EDIT: now undead.

Most of those are not at all alternatives but rather "solutions roughly in the same domain space that might have a 10% overlap".

Klarna has nothing in common with Paypal, bare metal hosting is not at all an alternative to AWS, PeerTube has nothing in common with Netflix, etc.

Is it only me, or does the logo in the header really look like someone forgot a zero in the number of pixels when running some compression tool?

this is an artifact of an AI generated site, it always puts the logo there without attempting to trim it

"View all →" the messy header

the signs are all there
