Ask a friend to use it once on a free trial. They work for Uber. Logo won. Rinse/repeat.

I heard of cursor on the grapevine before it was posted here and I am not someone who stays on top of this stuff so they are doing a bit of marketing I reckon.

Same, too, for sites that say "trusted by students a ${PRESTIGIOUS_INSTITUTIONS}". Overuse of that little advertising trick has absolutely zeroed out whatever value it had.

It’s an easy trick: they just check the domains of the email addresses of people who created an account and display the logos of the high profile ones.

That's pretty fraudulent. Unless you signed a B2B contract, you can't claim thath.

Well, they can; it’s just illegal.

Worst case they are going to get a legal email from those companies to remove the logos.

When I worked at one of the large startup company, we all were submitting various websites to our legal department to remove our logo.

I own B2B business, just never felt confident to ask other businesses if that is ok to show theirs logos, so don’t show any. Probably a miss of opportunity.

Also curious about this and questioning its validity…
