  Fextralife embeds their twitch stream into their site, artificially inflating their twitch viewer numbers, which in turn hurts smaller streamers since fextralife will be sorted first by viewer count.

  They game SEO to flood search results with articles that are pure, useless placeholders which most of the time will never be written. Even when they’re more than a placeholder page, they’re often wrong outside of a few games because they’re just their to get clicks. Downvote bots were used against links competing wikis, and while Fextralife denies, it they were conveniently spared.

    Oh wow. Is it still worth using on games like elden ring where they have a good amount of info on every page?

      Still haven’t gotten around to playing Elden Ring so I don’t know if there are better alternatives.
