>In January 2025, Cleo was revealed by internet sleuths

this type of sleuthing, when someone is not doing any harm, is typically quite off-putting. if someone is contributing good to the world but trying to maintain some anonymity, it's really rude to try and "out" them.

however, i guess reshetnikov didn't care too much about being exposed as the person behind the name, considering:
