European alternatives for digital products

This list is just sad. I was thinking about what else could I say, but it's just sad. There's no area listed with an European solution that's comfortably in the top 3 in the world in its field. Maybe it is because this list is deliberately listing areas where the alternatives are less known (someone in another thread brings up SAP as an example).

I would consider DeepL to be comfortably the best translation service for the 24 languages they support. Their decision to support a lot of the less spoken languages in the EU (which have quite terrible support in Google Translate) has made the internet much more accessible for older people in my country who generally can't read English.

Yes, Europe has some tech areas where it is number one. Gambling is one I can think of. All the major sportsbooks, casino sites, poker sites and gambling backend companies are European. Also in porn many top sites are European. Onlyfans, Xvideos, Xnxx, LiveJasmin are all European. The Pornhub network was also started in Europe then sold to a Canadian. Also all major pirate sites and apps are European

It's even sadder that we can't have this discussion in a european forum. Are there any, really?

I just looked at VPN section and as a Mullvad user I disagree with you.
