Eh, the sentiment has always been ‘fuck russia’, it’s a pain. If someone comes up with a good reason to reenter the russian markets and everyone think it’s profitable and legal enough to get away with, they’ll bring it up at their company and will probably be successful, but a lot of us are very happy we didn’t have to worry about that for a few years.

This statement is driving down the perceived profitability though, so probably bought us a bit more time.

I feel like banning all direct links gets you 90% of the way there. No referral codes, if a user wants to find your site, they have to go looking, automated spam is harder, etc.

I’m just waiting for Trump to figure out how to announce that the US is going to own Ukraine now.

I could see Trump jumping on this if the right rich friend is invested in the right nuclear energy company. It feels like it’s within the realm of possibility.
