More like hundreds of thousands.

Too many to count I'm afraid

seems like hundreds of millions.

Hundreds of thousands? Do you have a link?

IshKebab Sep 9, 2020 View on HN

Can you say how many it is roughly? Like, are there 10? 100?

tpmx Sep 29, 2022 View on HN

There must be several thousands of them!

cbsmith Jun 30, 2021 View on HN

A hundred would be understating it. Thousands easily.

Maursault Nov 1, 2022 View on HN

Was it really hundreds or merely dozens? Help me understand this please.

Only 1300? I imagine it would be soo many more.
