If this question is off-topic, where is it on-topic?
It was closed as being a "shopping question":
Requests for product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they attract low quality, opinionated and spam answers, and the …

Further to the other answer, when multiple close reasons are selected by close-voters, only one (whatever gets the most votes) is shown. There was a close-vote for the reason mentioned in the other a …
