You do realize the person responsible for 538 is the same person?

People change over time. The Nate Silver of 2026 isn't the same Nate Silver of 2010 or 2013.

That's a funny response in the context of "Now he’s more interested in profiting off of gamblers" given I remember posting with him on the 2+2 forums in the early aughts poker boom days where he was a popular poster teaching a lot of people how to profit off gamblers.

See also his new book versus his old. His new book is nothing but name-dropping.

Yes that’s literally what I’m talking about. He made a cool site, sold it off to get enshittified, and now his main gig is grifting off of polymarket.
