for some reason youtube recommended me a tutorial video on how to disable popups on browsers. i got curious and clicked on the link in the description cause it said something about an "ai company", and oh boy. the url is coolzone.ai and it redirects to https://customsplashpages.com/page/6550/coolzone, and this is what it looks like:


wow.
it's easier to tell what they're trying to promote by clicking the link than watching the video. the link is an affiliate link of a website called ONPASSIVE, where you sign up for their ecosystem, which includes a video conference thing, a email thing, a... social network? and a URL shortener?
the first video is literally some guy telling you "you're absolutely gonna love this site". the second video is a tutorial on how to sign up. the guy mentioned something about earning credits? the third video is literally a robot voice telling you all about the ecosystem, with stock videos in the background. if i stumble acrossed this video without any context i would've thought it's a shitpost cause it literally starts like this, with an explosion sound effect

and one last thing: customsplashpages.com is worth talking about as well. the site probably ran from 2007 and hasn't been updated since.

edit: i know i said 'one last thing' but i haven't even scratched the surface yet. the entire youtube channel is so fucking bizzare. the most popular videos seem to be normal videos of zoom calls with a guy named Ash Mufareh, who's apparently the founder of the company.
AND apparently it's an MLM?? oh my god that explains a lot
