Does this line strike anyone else as just not true based on their numbers?

  Quizlet is now the ~50th biggest website in the U.S.

Actually 150th in the US and 794th world-wide, according to Alexa: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/quizlet.com

Not to say 150th isn't impressive or likely a lot of traffic.. but if you're going to post a number and claim like that, it should be accurate.

Ballpark, I'd say that's between 700 and 1,000 hits/second on the main frontend. I sort of doubt either AWS or GCP is so much faster than the other for this kind of load.

They mentioned 200k/minute (just over 3k/second) in the post.

Don't trust Alexa results, they are mostly useless.

Quantcast is usually more accurate and Quizlet US Rank on Quantcast is 37.

oof, someone there needs to look into their mobile experience. The homepage is fine but the minute I search for something it goes to junk.
