You have to wonder why he even felt the need to make this. I mean isn't it enough to have an idea in your head about who your favourite people are? No, I think he is saying 'hey this can be your echo chamber too'.

They have a huge database of most common moves + chess engine moves they cross reference to, then using math they see if your time to move + accuracy of moves is close to a chess engine, especially if it's not the opening (since being accurate for the first 4-12 moves is trivial). If you play too fast and with too much accuracy relative to your ELO you get banned pretty quick.

China is already more powerful than most of the world. The uphill battle that lies ahead will be way harder than dealing with nazis.

I would take a middle of the road approach and say that you should be incredibly sparing with who you give your email and maybe have a custom spam filter so you only get a few really important emails per month.

Like most people who say they're going to quit something he probably just started using it again when he realised it was useful and maybe even essential, and didn't bother to update this webpage. It's been 30 years after all.
