Hey, people at WHYS.video, this is for you. Here are some more things I uncovered.
Section 1: The Marton Fenyvesi Drama
When I pointed out that the Marton Fenyvesi site and the WHYS.video site used the same font, the Marton Fenyvesi website was subsequently redesigned. I don’t know whether my post had anything to do with that change or what tools were used to redesign it.
However, the old design is still preserved in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. In this snapshot, the site used the Google font Barlow Condensed, which is also used by the WHYS.video website as of this writing.
Here are additional Wayback Machine snapshots for reference in case either website changes:
Marton’s Site — WHYS.video’s Website
Of course, two websites using the same publicly available Google font does not by itself establish that they are connected. I’m documenting it because it is one of the similarities I noticed.
Section 2: More “Claire Bennett” Drama
I also found something interesting while experimenting with the generative AI chatbot ChatGPT—GPT-5.6 Sol specifically.
I tried the prompt: “Generate a trustworthy-sounding female name with a first and surname.” In my tests, ChatGPT returned “Claire Bennett” multiple times. I also tried the prompt in an incognito window and sometimes received “Claire Whitmore” instead.
Here is the ChatGPT conversation.
This doesn’t establish where WHYS.video’s “Claire Bennett” name came from, but I thought the coincidence was interesting enough to document.
The domain clairebennett.com currently displays only the message:
“This site is brand new
Please check back again soon.”
I also noticed a change in historical WHOIS information associated with the domain. According to the records I reviewed, the update date changed from November 14, 2024, to July 22, 2026.
An updated WHOIS date alone does not prove that ownership was transferred or identify who may have been involved. However, the timing caught my attention, and I think the domain’s history is worth documenting alongside the other information here.
Section 3: The Hungarian Analytics and Hits
One day, I checked Statcounter and saw 82 requests originating from Hungary. The traffic caught my attention because WHYS.video’s corporate entity, Mass Presence Kft., is based in Hungary.
The traffic appeared to visit several pages on my site, including pages unrelated to WHYS.video or content farms in general.
While reviewing access logs from my hosting provider, I also noticed requests from a crawler identifying itself as “LohiSoftBot.” I don’t currently have evidence establishing who operates that crawler, why it accessed my site, or whether it has any connection to WHYS.video.
Because of the traffic I was seeing, I added a WAF rule that presents a CAPTCHA challenge to requests originating from Hungary.
Wrap-Up
In conclusion, the WHYS.video story has turned into an even bigger saga.
If Marton Fenyvesi or anyone else associated with WHYS.video is reading this: if you operate any automated crawler that regularly checks ChippyTime for new posts, I’d appreciate it if you stopped crawling my site.
I’ll continue documenting anything unusual I can independently verify.
