i figured this was likely astroturfing by one of the many shitty companies it is advertising, so i went looking for the source. somewhat to my surprise this image was apparently created by reddit user u/theFallenWalnut who's actually been posting there for over 10 years 🤔

if you check their account you'll see they've actually updated their recommendations to remove several companies (including proton and spotify) which are included in the older version of it posted here.

but, they're still suggesting lots of garbage.

I don't think I have ever seen a worse sourced Wikipedia section. I agree with the general sentiment but holy shit I'm suprised that whole section hasn't just been thrown out.

Edit: checked the talk page apparently it was one of the students edited ones which explains why it reads like an essay I rushed out the night before the due date.
