AI Jerk Off in navbar?
Do anyone else see the new AI Jerk Off tab on the navbar?

It links to some shady dating website (?) that differs depending on region.

..I'm sorry, what?

Is that like, an ad that HHub runs now?

Not to take away from requests to remove shady ads, which this seems to be, and I fully support that, but - Frequent contributors can turn ads off in the settings. Why do you have them on?

I do have the disable ads setting. It's still there.

I see it too, and I've contributed to the patreon to remove ads from my account.

Guess this is something new. Would be nice with an update from someone in the know on what exactly this is.

that's something from rule34, i think? probably a side effect of us running the same code as them... maybe

Yeah I don't particularly feel comfortable seeing that there. Allowing AI crap is one thing, ENDORSING it is a whole fucking other issue.

AI Jerk Offs? I think they prefer to be called generators

Seriously though I see it as well despite having ads off. Haven't clicked it because that's close platonic ideal of a suspicious link. Maybe Detour can expand the userscript to hide it?

I'm guessing the devs put it there for a sponsor, which I think is a very bad idea aside from it being AI. The position of the link will lead people to think it's affiliated with hypnohub (what with it being literally next to "Other Sites"), and with it being so shady and perhaps even a scam or malware risk, surely that's a legal concern.

well actually i clicked(multiple times even) and the thing does nothing, i click yes and it gets blocked immediately, same thing with no, something is just cutting the connection before it can even redirect you anywhere

The redirect checkers I used show that the link takes you to random places everytime you click it. According to Malwarebytes the domain zlink0 is associated with riskware.

Plus, isn't it suspicious that "something" is cutting the connection?

i just now found out what was that "something", it was my adblocker doing stuff i didn't even know it could do

It is on rule34, but hidden if you use an ad blocker. But not hidden here (yet) because it is new.

But it has been on rule34 for a while so why did it appear only now here... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So being an idiot I clicked it out of sheer curiousity (stupid ik) but instantly closed it when a shady site popped up. Did I accidently just open my PC to Malware or would that only happen if I further interacted with the shady site?
