Also, interesting comment I found on HackerNews (HN):

This post was definitely demoted by HN. It stayed in the first position for less than 5 minutes and, as it quickly gathered upvotes, it jumped straight into 24th and quickly fell off the first page as it got 200 or so more points in less than an hour.

I'm 80% confident HN tried to hide this link. It's the fastest downhill I've noticed on here, and I've been lurking and commenting for longer than 10 years.

Okay, yes this is an issue. But small business? This was a multinational casino site… that doesn’t scream small business to me.

Online casinos can become international very simply, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a big company. You usually get a license and can operate in that country + a number of gray markets. Ofc there are also huge companies, but "international" doesn't mean much for an online business.

Yes… but 4 million active users is quite high. I doubt anyone would consider that “small business”.

[-] sudneo@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, that's true. I guess that is for sure a better metric that being "international".
