Gotchas

There is no free listing. The submit page is a $6 WooCommerce product and nothing else.
The dofollow link is the thing you are buying, and they say so on the page rather than burying it.
The feed is heavy on video generators, companions and content spinners, so an infrastructure or B2B product will sit oddly next to its neighbours.
