It just looks like a bunch of python dictionaries. Simon might be getting a little riled up trying to "prove" something, 'cause he drank too much kool-aid before trying to start gathering all the good incriminating evidence. Half of the archive he posted doesn't actually have peakViewers as part of the dictionary, so I don't really know how this is a big own.
Part of what he was saying was what, there was a 2x multiplier when things first started? This doesn't really prove that.
So, for Apr 18 18:29:48 GMT, (
https://web.archive.org/web/20220418182948/https://api.cozy.tv/cache/homepage) here are the two relevant dictionaries:
{"name":"nick","displayName":"Nick","avatarUrl":"
https://web.archive.org/web/2022041...yz/a/av/fb67015b68ab4b5c842d29175cdd85c4.webp","cardUrl":"
https://web.archive.org/web/2022041...a/pcrds/a0c984438ce99a0bcf62db67de4012d4.webp","title":"come say hi or dont","followerCount":16979,"isLive":null,"vf":true,"viewers":2937}
{"date":"2022-04-18T06:11:22.590Z","duration":32258,"id":"2022-04-18","title":"come say hi or dont","user":"nick","peakViewers":6759}
So, the "big own" is the viewers are 2937 and the peakViewers is 6759. This is supposed to show the multiplier. The obvious, "this is not an own" is that the VIEWERS are not the PEAK VIEWERS. They're two different items in two different dictionaries. Ostensibly the one dictionary is for the livestream, and the other is for the last recorded video. So can we tie the two dictionaries together, definitively, without access to the guts of the site? Yeah, I doubt it, but if you have enough time and autism, please, go ahead.
Without digging into it too much:
1. If the one dictionary is for the livestream and the other is for the archive, archives are you know, ARCHIVES and therefore the LIVESTREAM is unrelated to the ARCHIVE peakViewers and viewers not lining up makes sense, 'cause it's two different VODs.
2. The prd.foxtratstream.xyz... links are just pictures of Nick's face. Nothing big to tie everything together.
3. The above examples have the same title, but on the same archive page Dalton has three entries, one live, two historical:
{"name":"daltonclodfelter","displayName":"DaltonClodfelter","avatarUrl":"
https://web.archive.org/web/2022041...yz/a/av/79387e6170a097b112805ab83cf4f383.webp","cardUrl":"","title":"OMEGLE KING RETURNS! ARISE FROM THE ASHES!","followerCount":3336,"isLive":null,"vf":true,"viewers":83}
{"date":"2022-04-18T02:14:45.579Z","duration":7830,"id":"2022-04-18","title":"AFCRAFT AND REACTIONS","user":"daltonclodfelter","peakViewers":95}
{"date":"2022-04-17T21:30:38.369Z","duration":6525,"id":"2022-04-17_1","title":"GTA RP: IM AN OFFICER OF THE LAW!","user":"daltonclodfelter","peakViewers":189}
So what does that even mean, if we're supposed to buy the two dictionary types are related directly?
TL;DR: Call me retarded or whatever, but a middling intellect (Simon, not me, promise)throwing a bunch of technical jargon at a hostile audience to prove an own is a bad move. Especially without spelling it out more than, "GUYS A<>B, OWNED!".
