This was really poorly worded and sounded very elitist and dismissive, I trust this was not the intention.
Because it’s probably kids messing around.
Except that poker is an established game with clear rules where the ace is the highest card?
I agree that they do a very poor job at that. I found the website interesting only because I had prior knowledge of its main use case — I came across it reading the comic "how airports lie to you with DNS" by Julia Evans:

Otherwise I would have probably just closed the tab without giving it a second thought.
The entire website is fantastic. I've been subscribed to their RSS feed for several months now, it has quickly become a favorite in my feed reader. Science-based, in-depth weather nerdery without clickbait/sensationalism.
Never heard of them until now...
From the footer:
> simply visit newsminimalist.com when you feel like it.
That's exactly what RSS feeds are for, so you can subscribe to a website and get the updates without the need to visit it again or even think about it again.
Also SSD wear and tear after years of use can cause a device to become sluggish.
They would just need to release a pro version of their app you can pay upfront in the App Store, and then release paid updates later following the same model. No need to "turn a company" into anything.
This is a great article to send to those developers that only use IAP to license the complete version of their apps:
