This is legitimately the stupidest idea I've heard from you retards.
You’re just putting a neon “KiwiFarms made this” sign on every frame like it’s an ARG for journos and clout goblins.
If the goal is to stop bottom-feeding YouTubers and content locusts, watermarking = playing yourself.
But if you insist...
1. Forensic Watermarking
Invisible data baked into video/audio. You can’t see it, but when some soyflavored YouTuber reposts it, you can match the signal and trace the leak. Hollywood uses this to track pre-release screeners. You can too.
2. Honeytokens
Make slight variations in clips (frame timing, artifacting, even one random frame of “NIGGER”). Distribute unique versions to known users/forums. When it leaks? You know who spilled the beans. It's like digital rat poison.
3. Cryptographic Hash Logging
Every file version or DL session gets a unique hash embedded (visibly or invisibly). Tie it to IP/session/user and keep logs. If a clip shows up on YouTube with hash X8291A? Boom, got the source. Bonus points if you automate this with a script.
4. DRM-lite Wrappers
Use embedded HTML5 video players with tokenised access to block easy downloading. Not bulletproof (screen recorders exist), but slows down the “steal and reupload” pipeline.
5. AI Scene Fingerprinting
Train a simple ML model or use existing services (Pex, Audiomagic, etc.) to detect copies - even if they’re cropped, flipped, or shit-tier filtered.
or...
Slip in a single frame QR code or noise-based hash image that appears for 1 frame at a low-opacity layer. Looks like compression noise unless you scrub and enhance. Tie that frame content to a user/session. If it leaks? You now have a forensic signature. Or if you don't care about tracing, use a redirect to whatever malware or meme site you want. "Huh? Enhance! Oh fuck, it's two old guys fucking on a couch - abort, abort!"
Watermarks are for attention whores. If you’re serious about control, go cold war spy tactics: invisible, trackable, undeniable.
Tag the rats, don’t advertise the cheese.
