Registrar is Goolag, and the site is CuckFlared, already 2 red flags.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, looking at the requests it's making is rather creepy.\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And visiting the website for the 2nd time gives me an "Idiot Banned" page featuring just a white page with an unplayable video (request seems to point to https://static.buddylist.co/x/YourNeverGonnaHackMe.mp4 ).\
|
||
|
|
Literally all I did before getting this page was looking at the top page (and the blurred thumbnails).\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I consider it a failure right from the start.

Pushing it through an archiver hangs for a long time at
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
www.joshwhotv.com/plugin/Live/stats.json.php?Menu
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But eventually produces [a capture](https://archive.ph/U6evB).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [web archive bot gets fed with captchas](https://web.archive.org/web/20220313101309/https://www.joshwhotv.com/) and other [issues](https://web.archive.org/web/20220228101822if_/https://www.joshwhotv.com/).
|
||
|
|
Although there are a few [good captures](https://web.archive.org/web/20220401015353/https://www.joshwhotv.com/).

This is behavior typical of sites which heavily profile connections. Probably just inherited from using cloudflare, so even if the people behind joshwho are well intentioned, they have built a visitor profiling honeypot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am already critical of Bitchute because of their cloudflare wall. mpv can be used to at least avoid their web player. Let's see if the same is true for joshwhotv:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[ffmpeg] https: header='X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff'
|
||
|
|
[ffmpeg] https: header='Report-To: {"endpoints":[{"url":"https:\/\/a.nel.cloudflare.com\/report\/v3?s=redacted"}],"group":"cf-nel","max_age":604800}'
|
||
|
|
[ffmpeg] https: header='NEL: {"success_fraction":0,"report_to":"cf-nel","max_age":604800}'
|
||
|
|
[ffmpeg] https: header='Server: cloudflare'
|
||
|
|
[ffmpeg] https: header=''
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It *works* but still makes connections to cloudflare :mad:, the same problem Bitchute suffers from. I suppose one could put mpv over a proxy but that's a lot of hoops to jump through when a video uploader could have just used a better host to begin with.
