Millennials don't exist, according to Adam Conover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HFwok9SlQQ
I'm careful using the word "Millennial" these days and increasingly skeptical of online articles with the word "Millennial" in the title. Thanks to shows like Adam Ruins Everything[1], I am more informed on a variety of topics. (I learn visually and prefer to watch his videos instead of read an article).

That's why you fetch the ZIP from Github here: https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef/tree/gh-pages
Then you download it, and open it in a sandbox VM with no Internet access

The word is usually used in the context of war. See:

If the sites are on a root domain, then you can put ADWords on the site and get paid, but not much. Typically a thousand impressions is a dollar. Depending on how long the URL stays on the frontpage, you could be looking at 20,000 - 50,000 impressions which roughly translates as USD 20-50.
You get paid even more when ADs are clicked on.
To be honest this is a rather dated way to monetize a site now with the sudden surge of visitors using ADBlockers, and you might want to look into other ways to monetize, such as
- Affiliate links
- Premium/paywalled articles / content
- Donation buttons, using PayPal / Bitcoin/Litecoin
Also keep in mind that since getting frontpage on HN is so rare, then it can't be a sustainable source of income
I suspect a large portion of Reddit accounts are sockpuppet[2] accounts, alongside Product Hunt.
It's the Law of Manipulatable Numbers where if you put a number next to somebody's name online, then the person sometimes (not often) tries to manipulate the number.
