On the current main README, the Gold sponsor entry for Buzzoid is described as:
A lightweight open-source API Development, Testing & Mocking platform
That description does not match Buzzoid. The linked site (https://buzzoid.com/buy-instagram-followers/) is a service for buying Instagram followers — the URL path, the OpenCollective slug (buzzoid-buy-instagram-followers), and the axios project's own sponsor data all confirm this.
Readers clicking through the README expecting an API development tool instead land on a social‑media engagement store, which I think is worth fixing regardless of how the sponsorship tier is decided.
Evidence that this is a text mistake, not the intended description
docs/data/sponsors.json still holds the correct description for this sponsor:
{
"name": "Buzzoid - Buy Instagram Followers",
"imageUrl": "https://images.opencollective.com/buzzoid-buy-instagram-followers/56a09fe/logo.png",
"description": "At Buzzoid, you can buy Instagram followers quickly, safely, and easily with just a few clicks. Rated world's #1 IG service since 2012.",
"tier": "gold",
"slug": "buzzoid-buy-instagram-followers",
"website": "https://buzzoid.com/buy-instagram-followers/?utm_source=axios_docs_website&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=axios_open_collective_sponsorship",
"active": true
}
Every prior auto-generated README refresh by the github-actions bot rendered Buzzoid with the matching title/alt text — for example, the most recent merged one, chore(docs): update sponsor block #10668, uses alt="Buzzoid - Buy Instagram Followers" and title="At Buzzoid, you can buy Instagram followers…".
The string "A lightweight open-source API Development, Testing & Mocking platform" is the former Requestly sponsor's description. Requestly was present in earlier bot-generated sponsor layouts but no longer appears in the README; its description seems to have been left attached to the Buzzoid card when the sponsor section was manually rewritten in commit cc9aa2f ("docs: update sponsors").
Steps to reproduce
Open README.md on main (or the package page on npm).
Scroll to the Gold sponsors table.
Observe the Buzzoid card description vs. the buzzoid.com link destination.
Expected
The Buzzoid card shows Buzzoid's actual description (e.g., the one already in docs/data/sponsors.json) and an alt text consistent with the sponsor, e.g. Buzzoid - Buy Instagram Followers.
Actual
Buzzoid is shown as "A lightweight open-source API Development, Testing & Mocking platform" — which is Requestly's description, not Buzzoid's.
Suggested fix
In README.md, update the Buzzoid block to use the name/description from docs/data/sponsors.json:
Replace the paragraph A lightweight open-source API Development, Testing & Mocking platform with the existing canonical description (e.g., At Buzzoid, you can buy Instagram followers quickly, safely, and easily with just a few clicks. Rated world's #1 IG service since 2012.).
If README sponsor blocks are supposed to be regenerated from docs/data/sponsors.json by the sponsor-update workflow, it may also be worth checking why the manual edit in cc9aa2f diverged from that source of truth so the next auto-update doesn't silently get out of sync again.
Context
Not a duplicate of #7075 / #6758 — those were about whether Buzzoid should be listed as a sponsor at all (closed: sponsorship is accepted via OpenCollective). This issue is strictly about the description text being wrong for whichever sponsor occupies that slot.
