Each dot represents a simulated request. No requests are actually sent.
The original report included a `setInterval(...,300)` / `fetch()` pattern that built randomized `?s=` queries and repeatedly requested a target blog. This demo visualizes that repetitive pattern. All claims about operator intent or identity are presented here as reported by community sources — see Sources below.
What this pattern does to a site (plain language)
When many browsers each send unique requests rapidly, caching is bypassed and the target must compute every response. That increases CPU, memory, I/O and bandwidth load. For small blogs this can cause severe degradation or outages.
- Timer runs every ~300ms in each client tab.
- Each tick builds `https://gyrovague.com/?s=
` (example) - Server receives constant unique requests → cache misses → compute for each request
- High combined load from many visitors = DDoS-scale effect in practice
