      I've recently came across some articles by a guy that built and sold some io games. You can read some of what he wrote on his website:

      shameless self plug: https://victorzhou.com has a mix of machine learning, web development, and other topics. You may have seen some posts from there on HN in the past

      Side note; Disqus has a terrible reputation for selling user data.

      I tend to avoid any site that uses it.
