Bestboi team discovered this site a long time ago and determined it to be just an api logger. You want to tell me they can afford 62tb of on hand storage for people to download whoevers model. This site is a claimed to be paid service. Model stealing is free to do. https://twitter.com/RaealTheProto/status/1387574018128191491
More so this is fear mongering blindly and just flat out idiotic to act like this is an easy to fix thing. Do we all not bother googling something before acting like this has a real solution.
VRChat cant prevent model stealing easily. https://twitter.com/RaealTheProto/status/1387574813322104833

In fact they only really can do is prevent people from downloading models from the api. Which they have done recently. But we are not hear to talk about that.
If you load a model into memory it can be dumped.
If its visible it can be dumped.

Why do you think all triple a studio games have no protection from ripping assets? OOh wait thats right because its not a feasible thing to do.
People like this are flat out fear mongering model stealing as if its an extremely common occurrence.
This is just really not true. https://twitter.com/RaealTheProto/status/1387575256353738755?s=20

More so private models ex: lets say a blanca model is stolen then used. If that person ever dares to go into a furhub or any other public world they will get noticed and twitter will freak out. I see this happen personally with Wuffmallow's model.
The person who was in the model was caught and everyone jumped on it and said report him. Now everyone knows that their user id that cannot be changed in the api is a model stealer.
Do a little research before making your big angry tweets acting like you know there is a solution when there clearly is no solution.
Both neos and cvr will and do have the same issue. Its not a solvable solution regardless of what fanboys say.

Alright lets do some actual research unlike our lazy protogen friend over here.
If you even bothered to go on the site and make an account you will notice something funny pretty quickly.
First thing, you cannot download private avatars because your account has no credits.

How does one get credits?
Oh by giving the site more avatar ids. Oh wait look at the bottom you can't. That's weird how can a site like this exist since when bboi team found it 03/07/2020 and still doesnt have a payment system nor even have one?

Okay but my public avatar is on there and it can be stolen. Oh shit you can but wait thats a .vrca file isnt that the same file you get normally from the api.
Answer YES it is. So maybe an idexer? Nope this download is just the vrchat api with a fearful front page!

Want more? The very images of avatars they show you. Are literally from vrchats cloudfront aka their cdn.
Wild they big 62tb avatar storing beast of a site cant store any of the files they ripped?

I did all this basic research to find out what? Damn this site doesnt do shit? Wow crazy maybe we should do this more often than fear mongering over this stuff.
In short lets restate above before i add stuff later.
You cannot prevent ripping only make it different to do it.
This site literally cannot download private models.
This site has existed for awhile now and has big claims for something it literally doesnt monetize.
RESEARCH
