> I don't know where the writer writes from (don't care to look it up).

didn't care to read the article either but provided a dismissive TLDR. The article mentions they are from the Netherlands.

>in the UK there are companies were you can outsource (at little cost) most of your admin stuff, and/or you can also mark them as the 'HQ' of your company, using their address instead of yours.

for a minimimal update on an app you finished 11 years ago that probbably isn't making money? No thanks. I think it's important to remember that this isn't some active business, but a hobbyist that made something at a completely different phase of life.

>DUNS: I remember when I created an app for Apple Store, they were requesting the same. I did it. It took me 10mins, nothing to see here, move on.

Also in the article. Feel free to correct me since you're closer, but apparerntly the Netherlands needs to pay to find the DUNS number that was already registered to the CoC.

>Doing business has costs.\

They aren't a business past adding migration updates to an old app. Yes, it is a big deal to give a private middleman your passport and let them post your address/phone number to the world. It's absurd to get on a high horse to a single dev, especially in a community that I thought valued privacy.
