CurseForge has long been *the* platform for downloading mods, however since it was acquired by Overwolf, the platform has been in a downhill spiral, with no signs of stopping. Firstly, CurseForge's policies against launchers downloading their content are unnecessary and predatory, and effectively only push people to download mods using their proprietary launcher, which lacks support for platforms like Linux. Secondly, the revenue paid to creators by CurseForge is hundreds of times lower than the amounts paid out by Modrinth, and their transparency with these analytics leaves much to be desired. My personal experiences along with seeing other creators' statistics confirms this. Their claims of "70%" of ad revenue being given to creators are misleading if true at all, and the level of greed it takes to create this situation at all is simply incredible.
