While reading this article I had the same thought, read something similar on HN before. Sounds like nothing's changed on KitSplit. Looks like they found their profit/payment line - continue to screw the 0.01% and leave them in the

The picture he shows of all the Skittles' counts looks like something I would've seen at the local museum. He missed his chance of taking an ultra high resolution photo of it and putting it on display: https://possiblyw
