Vercel ends open-source sponsorship program giving projects 24hr notice

Heads up that vercel updated the copy on the page that's linked to by this post. It's not a blog post, it's a guide page, so obviously we'd expect it to change, but it's probably useful to track it in case comments here are responding to an older version.

This is what it originally said: https://web.archive.org/web/20240614182520/https://vercel.co...

Here's what it says at the time I'm posting this: https://web.archive.org/web/20240614223830/https://vercel.co...

Seems like it's mainly an update to clarify things because of this thread. But honestly, they'd probably be better off just making a new post explaining what's going on. They might also want to clarify why some sponsorships seem to have coincidentally expired right around now (if that's what's happening), and what's up with this $300 credit thing.

Correct, I updated this page – the title of this HN post is misleading. Nowhere in the original guide did it mention anything related to the title, causing confusion in this thread.

We are not ending the program, clarified here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40684147

Your interjections in this thread is what is misleading. Let the people talk, you are on Vercel's payroll, the only one with a biased opinion here.

Yes, I run the sponsorship program at Vercel. I'm the person working with these teams. Feels pretty fair to clarify.

Your bias is showing in your comment history.
