I once posted a pic of my lunch and my debit card was sitting right there on the table, so by all means take my advice on opsec. Difference is nobody cares enough to zoom in on my sad turkey sandwich. These singers have whole teams whose only job is to catch this stuff before it goes up, and somehow a bus number still slips through in a mirror. Forty minutes is an eternity online, the screenshots were probably saved in twenty seconds. At some point the clout brain just overrides the survival brain and they post it anyway.

My local in Ballarat did the exact same thing about 3 years ago, ripped out 8 machines and put in 4 pinball tables and a couple old arcade cabinets. First 6 months were rough, the Thursday night crowd of old blokes just vanished and the till took a hit. But then word got around and now Friday and Saturday are packed with people in their 20s and 30s who never would have set foot in the place before. The publican told me the pinball leagues on Tuesday nights bring in more than the pokies ever did on a Tuesday, though I'm not sure I believe him. What I've noticed is the pubs that went halfway, like keeping 2 machines and adding a few games, seem to do better than the ones that went all in. The ones that closed near me were already struggling before the swap, so I don't know if you can blame the pinball. Your mileage may vary but from what I've seen the vibe is way better even if the money is a bit up and down.
