Debate intensity20/100
Vercel's templates team has ignored several requests to stop featuring my template, so I updated the template to say not to use Vercel... which they immediately copied.

The author updated their template on Vercel to warn against using the platform after their requests to remove it were ignored, but Vercel promptly copied the update; the post sparks concerns about Vercel's practices despite having no comments.
