obvious mistake, same here

I wonder what would be cutoff age for readers to read it correctly, I guess under 30 read it correctly, and over 40 will many read it as Winamp

I'm 20 and I read Winamp, ha.

I reckon that the majority of the HN audience is into older (perhaps more graceful) working technology despite all the fanfare that newer, shinier stuff garners.

I am 17 and I wasn't wearing my glasses and I was really speaking winamp until I read your comment then scrolled back again to realize it was winapp

My bet is that I spend time on HN so I knew what winamp is in more detail but if say friends my age read it & say they use tiktok more, I would say that they wouldn't call it winamp but winapp

So I guess I might be one of the few exceptions but I feel like people on HN are much more likely to read it as winamp than not & age might not be thaaat big of an impact (atleast on HN)
