Usually these awesome lists are created with enthusiasm, then they get a sponsor or paid link at the top, and sit abandoned and never updated. You can see the linked list has a link to their android app Plenary at the top, and see the last commit was three years ago. Showing the same pattern. All the "awesome-xxx" repositories seem to follow this approach, whether by accident or design. I'm sure reviewing and rejecting the expected spammy submissions will take its toll, but it always feels a little more deliberate than that when you see the recurring pattern.
