  • HOWS.video: another slip-up investigation

    We’ve talked about WHYS.video at least three or four times now, but every time we dig deeper into this content farm network, another layer of the illusion crumbles.

    What presents itself to millions of YouTube viewers as a high-budget, global American publisher staffed by English-speaking subject-matter experts is, in reality, a bare-bones scraping operation run out of Hungary. Here is the latest operational breakdown—from corporate registry filings to low-budget video automation pipeline slip-ups and ongoing evidence removal.

    1. The Corporate Registration: Mass Presence Kft. & The “Martón Fenyvesi” Connection

    Public corporate records on CompanyHall.hu reveal that the company behind this infrastructure, Mass Presence Kft., isn’t a massive media conglomerate—it is a tiny entity registered in Hungary by an individual named Martón Fenyvesi.

    Cross-referencing his name leads directly to martonfenyvesi.hu, a portfolio site for his music projects. Interestingly, a design audit of martonfenyvesi.hu shows it utilizes the exact same custom font family deployed across the newly redesigned WHYS.video website, serving as an aesthetic bridge between the personal operator and the network’s web properties.

    Furthermore, official Hungarian business registry data shows that Mass Presence Kft. employs just two individuals. Their registered official business activity is listed narrowly as:

    “Computer infrastructure, data processing, hosting and related services”

    This stark reality directly contradicts the grand narrative promoted in the channel trailers for Tech·WHYS and AskAbout.video, which proudly claim:

    “A dedicated staff to find topics and the right answers… A smaller team filming… we now have our own studio equipment…”

    (Note: In our very first blog post, we flagged sysadmin Hans Forbrich as a potential owner due to historic dibit.net assets, but the updated corporate trail confirms Forbrich was simply a historical domain holder/administrator; the active operational entity is Mass Presence Kft. under Fenyvesi).

    2. Deconstructing the Video Illusion: Stock Footage & The 1:20 Timestamp Slip-Up

    By cross-referencing timestamps from Tech·WHYS (“This Is How We Work”) against public stock media databases, the entire 1-minute-57-second promo video collapses into a simple spreadsheet of outsourced B-roll:

    The 00:01:20 timestamp is the ultimate operational security failure. The editor accidentally captured screen recordings of the sister domain AskAbout.video and dropped it straight into a promotional video meant for WHYS.video—visually proving that both domain brands are run out of the exact same local file directory by the same editor.

    3. The Industrial Production Pipeline: Fiverr, HeyGen, & $0.01 Automation

    The network doesn’t rely on in-house videographers; it relies on cheap gig labor and automated macro templates:

    • The Fiverr Connection: Visual assets matched portfolio samples from a Fiverr video editor ([fiverr.com/hasnain_memons](https://fiverr.com/hasnain_memons)). The network bought baseline video editing packages, cropped out the bottom watermark/logo, and reused the templates.
    • Color-Swapped Automation: The operator wrote rendering macros to switch background colors for each sub-channel variant (e.g., swapping to red for Ask About Home & Family XEHExH2HWk4, purple for Ask About Phones & Apps jkA_-vTmG-s, and blue for Tech·WHYS).
    • Synthetic E-E-A-T Avatars: Personas like “Claire Bennett” are synthetic HeyGen/Synthesia avatars mapped onto cheap LLM scripts (gpt-3.5-turbo at ~$0.0003 per script).
    • The Domain Ghost: The domain clairebennett.com was an expired domain (previously owned by a London life coach from 2007–2021) bought by Mass Presence Kft. to act as a fake E-E-A-T authority shield. It currently sits blank with the text “This Site is Brand New. Please check back again soon.”

    4. The Economic Pivot & Real-Time Scramble: The Evidence Removal

    Running custom Fiverr edits and AI avatar rendering across thousands of videos costs around $5 to $15 per clip—an unsustainable unit cost for low-yield long-tail scraper videos. On channels like Language.foundation, they only produced two of these high-production “studio” videos before reverting back to pure, penny-cost automated text-and-slideshow uploads. The “studio” videos were merely loss leaders pinned to channel homepages to fool YouTube quality reviewers.

    Real-Time Panic: The Asymmetric Site Rollback & Corporate Removal

    Following our recent exposures highlighting the explicit “Mass Presence LTD” corporate text slip-up in the Terms of Service of their new AI redesign, the operator panicked and began an immediate cover-up:

    1. WHYS.video: Promptly rolled back from the AI redesign to its older legacy layout today, quietly removing the “Mass Presence LTD” corporate text from the live Terms of Service to scrub their paper trail.
    2. Language.foundation: Still retains the AI redesign (because they haven’t caught up to our cross-domain tracking yet).
    3. AskAbout.video: Remains on its legacy design throughout.

    This selective, panicked removal of corporate text and site features proves they are actively reading these blog posts and manually scrubbing web assets in real-time to break the public OSINT trail. But as the infrastructure records, shared Hetzner IPs, stock asset IDs, and cropped Fiverr templates show—the paper trail is already permanently documented.

  • 4 Ways to Find Deleted YouTube Videos

    Ever gone back to watch a favorite YouTube video, only to find it’s been deleted, taken down, or made private? It’s frustrating — especially if the video held sentimental value, useful information, or content you can’t find anywhere else. The good news: a deleted video isn’t always gone for good. Here are four methods you can try to track one down.

    1. The Wayback Machine

    The Wayback Machine is a massive archive of the internet that regularly takes snapshots of web pages — including YouTube video pages. If you still have the original link to the video, this should be your first stop.

    How to use it:

    • Copy the original YouTube video URL.
    • Head to web.archive.org.
    • Paste the link into the search bar.
    • Browse the available snapshots by date. If you’re lucky, an archived version of the page may still have the video player working, or at least show you the title, description, and thumbnail.

    Keep in mind that the Wayback Machine archives the page, not always the video file itself, so results can be hit or miss depending on when the snapshot was taken.

    2. Google Search

    Don’t underestimate a simple Google search. Even after a video is deleted from YouTube, Google’s cached data, mirror sites, or reposts can still lead you to it.

    How to use it:

    • Go to Google.com.
    • Type in the exact video title, or better yet, the video ID (the string of letters and numbers at the end of a YouTube URL, after v=).
    • Look through the results for cached pages, forum discussions, reaction videos, or reposts that might reference or even re-host the content.

    Searching the video ID specifically tends to work well since it’s a unique identifier that other sites may have indexed.

    3. Check Your Backups

    This one’s easy to overlook: if you ever downloaded the video, saved it locally, or backed up your device, the file might already be sitting on one of your drives.

    Where to look:

    • Local downloads folders or external hard drives
    • Cloud storage services (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
    • Old phone or computer backups
    • Video editing project files, if you ever clipped or reused the footage

    It’s worth a quick search across your devices before assuming the video is lost forever — you might have saved it without even realizing it.

    4. Check Other Sites

    YouTube isn’t the only place videos live. Content creators often cross-post their work, and other users sometimes re-upload popular videos elsewhere.

    Places to check:

    • Internet Archive — Beyond the Wayback Machine, the Internet Archive hosts an enormous library of user-uploaded videos that may include a full re-upload of what you’re looking for.
    • Vimeo — Many creators mirror their content here as a backup platform.
    • Other social platforms — TikTok, Twitter/X, Reddit, or Facebook are common places where clips or full videos get reposted.

    A quick search using the video title or creator’s name across these platforms can sometimes turn up an exact copy or something close to it.


    Final Thoughts

    Losing access to a YouTube video you loved (or needed) can be frustrating, but it’s not always the end of the road. Between web archives, search engines, your own backups, and alternative video platforms, there’s a good chance you can track it down. Start with whichever method fits your situation best — if you have the original link, try the Wayback Machine first; if you only remember the title, Google search or other platforms might be your best bet.

  • The WHYS.video Saga (Part 3): A Deceased Lead, Unanswered Emails, and Human Pivots

    This is the third (and hopefully final!) installment in our investigation into the WHYS.video content farm network. What began as a look into automated video generation and shared Hetzner hosting has evolved into a fascinating case study in digital forensics. Today, we have critical updates regarding the network’s human operator, direct communications, and recent channel activity.


    1. The Hans Forbrich Connection: A Crucial Correction

    In my previous post, I highlighted historical domain and server links pointing toward a sysadmin footprint under the name Hans Forbrich. However, new records indicate that Hans Forbrich passed away in July 2023.

    This is a pivotal piece of the puzzle. Given that the network’s infrastructure has remained active long after 2023—including the coordinated server migrations in early 2026 and the recent “Mass Presence LTD” footer updates—control of Dibit, WHYS.video, and the associated assets was almost certainly transferred to a new operator, team, or administrator. The legacy setup endures, but someone else is now running the operation.


    2. Outreach and Radio Silence

    In the interest of direct verification, I attempted to contact the WHYS.video team using the official email address listed on their website. Over 20 hours have passed with no response.

    While not surprising for an operation built on automated web scraping and low-profile hosting, total silence fits the standard playbook for these networks when under public scrutiny.


    3. Ghost Channels and a Strategy Pivot

    Looking at the network’s video distribution channels reveals another intriguing shift:

    • Upload Cessation: All three main channels—WHYS.video, AskAbout.video, and Language.Foundation—abruptly halted their automated video uploads around 6 to 7 months ago.
    • The “Human Content” Shift: While WHYS and AskAbout remain dormant “ghost channels,” Language.Foundation recently broke the automated template pattern and began publishing actual human-produced content.

    Whether this signals a permanent pivot away from low-quality text-to-speech scraping or an attempt to legitimize high-performing assets in the portfolio remains to be seen.


    That wraps up this update on the WHYS.video ecosystem! Thanks for following along through every piece of technical evidence, domain mapping, and timeline analysis.

  • WHYS.video is even more scammy.

    If you thought the original iteration of WHYS.video was a masterclass in internet sketchiness, the recent website overhaul manages to raise the stakes. They haven’t just updated the paint; they’ve leaned into a hyper-polished, deeply hollow framework designed to simulate legitimacy while throwing up massive red flags under the hood.

    The bigger story is that WHYS.video appears to have evolved. It no longer looks like a simple Google-search-driven content farm. It now appears to combine the old model — harvesting questions and answers from Google Search, “People Also Ask,” trending queries, and other search surfaces — with modern AI slop generation. In other words, the operation has not abandoned Google search scraping. It appears to have layered AI-generated summaries, Q&A metadata, and synthetic site structure on top of it.

    Here is a technical breakdown of what is actually happening with the new WHYS.video.

    1. The Phantom Corporate Entity: “Mass Presence LTD”

    Update: There was an unrelated “Mass Presence Kft.” registered in Hungary, which dibit.net on our last blog post uses integrity.hu, a Hungarian email service. Interestingly, the Mass Presence Kft company is registered on 2021-05-06, with an industry of “Computer infrastructure, data processing, hosting and related services”, but the website is just a generic shell. We have a connection, but whether it is connected to WHYS.video is unknown.

    The updated footer claims the site is operated by Mass Presence LTD. Naturally, I started digging.

    The problem is that Mass Presence LTD has no obvious public footprint. A strict exact-match Google search for “Mass Presence LTD” returns no meaningful company presence. Companies House, the official UK company registry, does not show a matching record for Mass Presence LTD. The Wayback Machine has no useful historical records for masspresenceltd.com. ICANN Lookup also returns no obvious registration trail for masspresenceltd.com.

    That does not conclusively prove that Mass Presence LTD is fictional. It could theoretically be registered in another jurisdiction, spelled differently, newly created, or operating without a matching domain. But for a public-facing media platform claiming this entity as its operator, the lack of basic public traces is extremely suspicious.

    Legitimate operators usually leave behind some kind of trail: business filings, registry entries, tax records, a corporate website, business database mirrors, LinkedIn pages, job postings, support documents, archived pages, or domain registration history. In this case, the obvious checks all come up empty.

    Mass Presence LTD therefore looks less like a transparent company disclosure and more like a legitimacy layer: a corporate-sounding name placed into the footer to make the operation appear formal, accountable, and legally grounded.

    1. Aggressive “Vibe Coding” and AI Tropes

    The new front end screams “vibe coded.” It lacks a distinct brand identity and instead leans into the generic, over-polished AI web aesthetic that has become common with rapid-generation UI tools.

    The layouts, typography choices, category cards, animations, and overall structure feel less like the result of a real product roadmap and more like someone prompting a code generator until the interface looked expensive enough. It has the visual grammar of a startup, but not the substance of one.

    That matters because the redesign appears to serve a purpose: to make WHYS.video look like a serious knowledge platform, even though the underlying content behavior still resembles an automated search-capture machine.

    1. From Google Trends to AI Slop

    WHYS.video does not appear to generate topics randomly. The likely pipeline is more deliberate: identify trending questions through Google Trends, search those topics on Google, collect related questions from “People Also Ask,” then turn the results into simple narrated videos.

    This would explain the strange range of topics. The channel does not behave like a human-curated educational brand. It behaves like a machine watching search demand and converting whatever people are asking into quick video content.

    The process likely works like this:

    Google Trends reveals a rising topic or question.

    The operator searches that topic on Google.

    Google’s “People Also Ask” box provides related long-tail questions.

    The system collects or rewrites answers from Google results, snippets, or indexed pages.

    Text-to-speech turns the answer into narration.

    A simple video is generated using basic visuals, stock assets, templates, or automated graphics.

    The finished video is uploaded to YouTube.

    This model predates modern LLMs. WHYS.video has existed since 2019, so the earliest version likely relied on older automation: Google Trends, search scraping, templated scripts, text-to-speech, and simple video generation. More recently, large language models may have been added to rewrite answers, generate cleaner scripts, or produce more polished filler at scale.

    The key point is that WHYS.video likely did not start as an AI content farm. It appears to have started as a search-driven video farm, then evolved into an AI-assisted search-driven video farm.

    1. Mechanized Q&A and Synthetic Interactivity

    The site’s Q&A structure gives the impression of interactivity, but it does not feel like a real community or editorial system. It feels synthetic.

    The questions are not signs of an active user base. They appear to function as search hooks: short, direct, Google-friendly phrases that can be turned into pages, captions, descriptions, and video topics.

    This is where the operation becomes especially interesting. WHYS.video does not appear to be creating content because people follow the brand. It appears to be creating content because people search for isolated questions. The site catches those questions, converts them into answer-shaped pages, and then uses those pages to support video distribution.

    1. The Purpose of the Network: Turning Search Demand into YouTube Views

    The purpose of the WHYS.video network appears to be driving YouTube views, not building a traditional website audience.

    The likely strategy is simple: find what people are searching for, convert those questions into fast, low-cost narrated videos, and upload them to YouTube with titles that match search intent.

    The websites then act as support infrastructure. They provide searchable text pages, category archives, cross-links, metadata, and a branded wrapper around the videos. But the core product appears to be the YouTube upload itself.

    In plain terms, the network likely exists to turn Google Trends and Google Search questions into YouTube views.

    A trending topic appears. WHYS.video searches it, harvests related questions from Google’s “People Also Ask,” generates a short answer, converts it with text-to-speech, adds simple visuals, and posts the result on YouTube.

    That explains why the operation can publish across wildly unrelated subjects. It is not following an editorial mission. It is following search demand.

    1. Unintentional Self-Awareness in Content Curation

    The platform’s automated chaos is perfectly captured by its “Entertainment-WHYS” sub-channel. The first video thumbnail features a prominent >_< emoticon.

    In internet culture, >_< often signals frustration, error, discomfort, or intense confusion. It is an accidentally perfect mascot for the current state of WHYS.video.

    Whether it is a glitch in an automated thumbnail system, a careless design choice, or just another artifact of mass-generated content, it visually summarizes the experience: polished surfaces wrapped around confused, low-context, heavily automated output.

    1. The Ghost Town Social Graph

    For a platform claiming “mass presence” and presenting itself like a serious video knowledge brand, its social layer is nearly nonexistent.

    Its linked social accounts show extremely low traction:

    X/Twitter: 13 followers

    Facebook: 26 followers

    Instagram: 48 followers

    These numbers do not prove the site has no traffic. A search-driven content farm can get visits without building a social following. But they do show that WHYS.video does not appear to have a meaningful organic community.

    That distinction is important. The operation does not seem designed around subscribers, followers, or fans. It seems designed around search interception. The social accounts exist as legitimacy props, not as evidence of a real audience.

    1. The Bigger Pattern

    When viewed together, the pieces form a consistent pattern:

    The brand has existed since 2019.

    The older model appears to have relied on Google searches, search-result scraping, “People Also Ask” style questions, and templated answer content.

    Around 2023–2024, large language models likely made the answer-generation layer cheaper, faster, and more polished.

    The recent redesign appears to wrap that older search-driven system in modern AI-generated branding and interface polish.

    The network’s purpose appears to be driving views to YouTube by transforming Google search demand into video traffic.

    The supposed corporate operator, Mass Presence LTD, has no obvious public trail across Google, Companies House, Wayback Machine, or ICANN Lookup.

    This is not the story of WHYS.video becoming a legitimate platform. It is the story of an old content-farm strategy receiving an AI-era upgrade.

    The Technical Verdict

    The update confirms what the initial investigation suspected: WHYS.video has not matured into a real platform. It has modernized its machinery.

    The site appears to have moved from basic Google-search-driven scraping into a hybrid model that combines Google-derived questions and answers with AI-generated filler, automated Q&A structures, generic generated UI, and YouTube-focused traffic capture.

    The result is an algorithmic zombie: a network of sites designed to harvest search intent, generate answer-shaped content, and push viewers toward YouTube videos. The new branding, corporate footer, and polished interface do not resolve the old red flags. They simply make the operation look cleaner while the underlying incentives remain the same.

    Proceed with caution, or better yet, don’t give them the clicks.

  • A Technical Investigation of WHYS.video

    WHYS.video has operated under a veil of mystery since 2019. In this deep dive, I’ll break down the digital breadcrumbs—domain records, hosting choices, backend infrastructure, and suspiciously synchronized migrations—that strongly indicate a single shadowy operator behind WHYS.video and several other question-answer sites.


    1. Historical Domain and Website Footprint

    Wayback Screenshot

    The domain WHYS.video was registered on July 11, 2019, according to Whoxy, a free WHOIS API. Early snapshots on the Wayback Machine show a minimal “tag cloud” questions site, confirming the presence and design consistency from the outset.


    2. Discovery of Linked Domains

    A ViewDNS.info reverse IP lookup connected WHYS.video to three other domains on the same infrastructure:

    • askabout.video
    • language.foundation
    • dibit.net

    Each uses a similar “answers/help/explainer” style, suggesting a common playbook and possible unified control.


    3. Hosting and Registrar Patterns

    All four domains are:

    • Hosted on Hetzner servers
    • Registered via Name.com

    Such overlap is highly suggestive of coordinated management and central oversight.


    4. Backend Subdomain Insights (dibit.net)

    A subdomain scan on dibit.net exposes an organized backend:

    • mx1.dibit.net, mx2.dibit.net: mail servers
    • mysql.dibit.net: database endpoint
    • miner.dibit.net: likely a backend processing worker
    • theia.dibit.net, unity.dibit.net: internal services

    This supports the theory that all sites are propped up by a shared technical backbone.


    5. Web Technology Fingerprint

    whys.video and askabout.video both:

    • Use nginx
    • Load jQuery identically
    • Incorporate Google Fonts and APIs
    • Integrate Twitter/X widgets the same way

    Such matching integrations imply a reused web template or deployment toolkit.


    6. Email Infrastructure

    SecurityTrails reveals dibit.net’s email (MX) records tie back to integrity.hu, a Hungarian email service—more evidence of deliberate, centralized IT decisions.


    7. DNS Records and Coordinated Server Moves

    Historical SecurityTrails DNS records show:

    • All four domains were hosted on 65.108.193.212 for about four years.
    • Between January 14–17, 2026, each migrated—in sequence, one per day—to a new Hetzner IP: 77.42.74.171.
    DomainPrevious IPCurrent IPMigration Date
    AskAbout.video65.108.193.21277.42.74.17114 Jan 2026
    Dibit.net65.108.193.21277.42.74.17115 Jan 2026
    Language.foundation65.108.193.21277.42.74.17116 Jan 2026
    WHYS.video65.108.193.21277.42.74.17117 Jan 2026

    Such coordinated migration is a classic sign of shared control, rather than coincidental overlap of unrelated site owners.


    8. Clues about the Owner

    A ViewDNS.info search highlights that dibit.net’s earliest IP (98.129.126.138) is linked—via Oracle forums and Google—to a sysadmin called “Hans Forbrich” and a persona “nothingless“. The linked nothingless.net domain itself has a bizarre history, morphing from rock band (2002–07) to psychological communication (2011–16), a Christian theme (2021), and, in 2026, a Chinese casino.

    We can give a few more possible domain names. 1. There was a Blogspot site at hansforbrich.blogspot.com which was about Oracle and Linux, but it dates back to 2011, and it gets updated until 2015, and it stayed around that way until 2018, when it turned into a private invited-only blog. forbrich.com (2011) and hans.biz (2003!) contain nothing.

    While no direct identification is made, these threads suggest a long-standing, individual (not corporate) hand has steered these sites through various incarnations.


    Wrap Up: What Does It All Mean?

    Summary and Takeaways

    The evidence is overwhelming: WHYS.video is not a lone, independent content site. It forms part of a cluster—AskAbout.video, Language.foundation, Dibit.net—built on matching backend infrastructure, sharing web hosting, migration timelines, registrar, and even subdomain naming.

    These patterns make it clear that:

    • All four domains are administered by a single team or individual.
    • The operation has maintained a behind-the-scenes consistency since 2019.
    • Technical choices (hosting, mail, web stack) reveal a deliberate, methodical approach—likely crafted by an experienced sysadmin.
    • Early digital traces point not to a big business, but to someone running a tightly controlled content farm—possibly using the “nothingless” identity or its successors.

    In the world of content farms, this level of interlocking evidence is rare and revealing. While the ultimate goals of WHYS.video and its siblings remain obscure, tracking their infrastructure provides a rare look behind the farmed content and into its hidden roots.

  • 1TB Free Cloud Storage: Is it possible? (Top 5 Picks)

    Unfortunately, there is no reputable provider that gives 1 terabyte of free cloud storage.

    However, not all hope is lost!

    Several reputable free and low-cost providers offer up to 500 GB of cloud storage (which is still a lot!), so if you can settle for a little less, this article will show you how.

    1. pCloud (500 GB Storage)

    You won’t find a supplier offering 500 GB of cloud storage for free, let’s face it.

    Nevertheless, pCloud remains a fantastic choice. To get you started, it provides 10 GB of free storage. If you need more, its 500 GB subscription is only $4.99 a month. It’s a good value for the money, particularly if you want lots of space for pictures, videos, documents, and backups without going over budget.

    2. Blomp (40 GB Free Storage)

    While I found it impossible to get 1 TB of free cloud storage, I did find Blomp, which offers a whopping 40 GB for free. That can scale up to 400 GB if you complete additional tasks, such as inviting friends to use the service.

    For example, Blomp can easily back up photos, videos, and audio with its web interface. All is not bad for free!

    3. MEGA (Free 20 GB Storage)

    Next option on the list, I did find MEGA, which offers up to 20 GB of free storage. That’s enough space to store thousands of photos, important documents, and a fair amount of video content without spending a dime.

    One of MEGA’s biggest advantages is its strong focus on privacy and security, with end-to-end encryption helping keep your files protected. Its apps are available across desktop and mobile devices, making it easy to access your files wherever you are.

    For anyone looking for a reputable cloud storage provider with a generous free plan, MEGA is definitely worth considering.

    4. YouTube (Free Unlimited Video Storage)

    You may think I’ve completely lost the plot – after all, YouTube is a video-sharing platform, not a cloud storage service.

    However, YouTube allows you to upload both private and unlisted videos, meaning they can be stored online without being visible to the public. In a way, that makes YouTube a surprisingly useful option for free video storage.

    This won’t replace a traditional cloud storage provider since you can’t store documents, ZIP files, or other file types directly. But if you’re a filmmaker, content creator, or simply want to back up home videos, YouTube offers virtually unlimited storage for uploaded videos at no cost.

    You can access your videos from anywhere, share them with specific people using unlisted links, and organize them into playlists for easy management. Just keep in mind that YouTube may compress uploaded videos, so it isn’t ideal if you need to preserve the original file quality.

    For video archiving and backups, though, it’s hard to argue with free.

    5. Degoo (Free 20GB Cloud Storage)

    If you’re looking for a simple way to back up photos, videos, and documents without paying anything, Degoo is worth considering. It offers 20 GB of free cloud storage when you sign up, making it one of the more generous free storage providers available.

    Degoo focuses heavily on backup and file protection, allowing you to automatically upload files from your computer or mobile device to the cloud. This makes it especially useful for safeguarding important memories, documents, and media files against device failure or accidental deletion.

    The service is available on Windows, Android, and iOS, giving you access to your files wherever you go. While the free plan includes advertisements and some limitations compared to premium plans, it’s still an excellent option for anyone needing extra storage without a monthly subscription.

    For users who require more space, Degoo also offers affordable paid plans with significantly larger storage capacities.


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why don’t any providers offer 1 TB of free cloud storage?

    Cloud storage providers must pay for servers, maintenance, bandwidth, and security. Offering 1 TB of storage completely free to every user would be extremely expensive and unsustainable for most companies. As a result, reputable providers typically offer between 5 GB and 20 GB for free, with larger storage plans available through paid subscriptions.

    Which provider offers the most free storage?

    Among the providers listed above, Blomp offers up to 40 GB of free storage, with opportunities to earn additional space through referrals and other activities. Degoo also provides a generous free plan with 20 GB of storage. For users looking for a more established cloud storage platform, MEGA remains one of the most popular options thanks to its 20 GB free plan and strong privacy features.

    Is TeraBox a good alternative?

    TeraBox is often advertised as offering 1 TB of free storage, making it an attractive option for users who need a large amount of space. However, some users may find its limitations, advertisements, and file management restrictions less appealing than those of more established cloud storage providers. If reliability, privacy, and long-term support are your priorities, services like MEGA, pCloud, or Degoo may be better choices.

    What’s the best free cloud storage service overall?

    The best option depends on your needs. If you prioritize privacy and security, MEGA is a strong choice. If you need affordable upgrades and reliable performance, pCloud stands out. For users seeking the largest amount of free storage possible, Blomp and Degoo offer some of the most generous free plans available.

  • ChippyTime, the truth warning

    ChippyTime has been the subject of a lot of recent discussion, some of which is accurate and much of which is wholly untrue. Running anything online involves disputes and gossip, but the truth is what matters. Here’s what’s actually happening.

    Let’s dispel the major rumors that, despite our repeated reminders that they are unsupported by any evidence, persist.

    “ChippyTime Uses an OpenAI Free Trial” is the first claim.

    Incorrect. Free trials have a short lifespan. ChippyTime cannot function with something that has been shut down for a long time. Our services are powered by legitimate, paid infrastructure. I always have.

    “ChippyTime Is Using Someone Else’s OpenAI Account” is the second claim.
    Not true, once more. We don’t take advantage of someone else’s subscription. Without any concrete proof, the rumor continues to circulate. It is simply inaccurate and has no supporting evidence.

    “ChippyTime Is Based in Romania” is the third claim.
    No, not at all. ChippyTime is based in the United States. If you’ve read or heard something different, it’s simply untrue.

    Stay away from what you hear in online forums or Discord channels in favor of official company sources for accurate information about us.

    “ChippyTech Hosts an HTML-to-Base64 Service” is the fourth claim.

    Not true either. ChippyTime and ChippyTech have never operated a hosting service for Base64-encoded HTML content. People claim it, but no proof has ever been shown. Most likely because it doesn’t exist.

    “ChippyTime Stores Passwords in Plain Text” is the fifth claim.
    Completely untrue. We are serious about password security. We make advantage of PHP’s password_hash() function, which was designed specifically to keep passwords secure and hashed rather than displayed in plain form. Storing plain text passwords is not a good security practice, and that has never been our strategy. Hashing is.

    Rumors remain just that—rumors.

    False Information Affects the Community

    We frequently witness instances of misinformation and false information spreading around the community. Inaccurate information can occasionally be taken as true by novice users, particularly if it is repeated frequently.

    Providing accurate technical information
