name them so that more people are aware ...
i dont think there's anything wrong with taking ad money. but consumers should be made aware of biases.

Funny story I worked at Vercel. I made this library Tamagui which solves many hard problems in the style space.
One day t3 makes a YouTube video talking about styling solutions in React and he comes up with a Venn diagram explaining how no solutions solves the intersection. I was shocked! Tamagui did it exactly, it was the entire hard problem I set out to solve in creating it, and he left it out despite it having gained lots of attention right before that. I DMed him telling him he should check it out as I think it’s the holy grail he’s searching for. He replied dismissively saying something like “I don’t think so”.
Turns out Vercel are trying to kill solutions like Tamagui because they are having a hard time supporting so many style solutions between their two huge projects RSC and Turbopack, they are invested in Tailwind in multiple ways and are trying to consolidate styling around it for their own ecosystem benefit.
The rabbit hole goes deeper, but that’s what I’ll say.
oh ok ... i think you're thinking of t3.gg(aka theo).

fascinating ... the whole react ecosystem has become a bit of a mess with open source contributors and investors (hoping for a return) mixed in.
No one is trying to kill Tamagui. Why would we want that?
> the higher ups there are investors in Tailwind
I don’t know any investors in Tailwind at Vercel. I’m certainly not one. I don’t think they’ve even taken outside investment. And it’d be against our ethical and fiduciary responsibilities to favor one solution over another on that basis.

Tailwind is a great solution that’s earned the hearts and minds of the community, and that’s why we include it as an option in `create-next-app`.
It’s an option because you can bring your own styling solutions to Next if you’d like (like yours: https://tamagui.dev/docs/guides/next-js)
Maybe your perception is backwards? Large parts of the ecosystem are consolidating on Tailwind, and it’s our job to provide sensible defaults according to that.
