Just double checked the math. How horrifying, you're 100% correct.
Chess.com recently hit 10 million members and there's a downside.

Yeah, especially considering Burger King(Hungry Jack's) is so much better.
Burger king is horrible. I've challenged you to a duel for Macker's honor.
Well, we will see. It's the official The King vs The Clown match:

Well, that's because only 5 of us (6 if Kaynight is having a good day) are interesting enough to be noticed.

I think that one guy who spams the Harikrishna hotlines is responsible for creating four million of those accounts.

@PolarChess yes but of the 10 million how many are actually "active members" at Chess.com? What is the percentage? Does anybody really know?

Who are the 5 that you are referring to? Me, and who else?

It's interesting to see the level of public awareness of the issue has markedly increased over the last few years.
It was not uncommon for members and staff two years ago to refer to the "six million members" as if it were the unassailable truth that this site had six million individual members. Nowadays, anyone doing so will pretty much be laughed off the forum.
I also remember that those asking whether the numbers were accurate were excoriated by the longterm "favorite" trolls, the threads locked, and some even were banned.
It's refreshing to see that this site is much more level headed these days.
Some facts:
33,000 Mcdonalds stores world-wide,
Mcdonalds serves 1% of the population per day,
75 burgers per second,
even the Queen of England owns a Mcdonalds store,
one restaurant per day will open in China in the next 3 years.
----
75 burgers per second * 31,536,000 seconds in a year = 2,365,200,000 burgers per year.
I'd say it was both easy and possible.
