But base64 is not an a form of encryption, it’s just a different encoding. It’s not bad encryption, it isn’t encryption at all. How does that show intent?

- schrodinger 3y agoI'd assume that it's a way to make it so the average person can't just right click and choose download, or easily go into inspector. I know base64 isn't encryption but it's a minor hurdle to dissuade the average person hence my inference of intent (e.g. we made a token effort for you to not download, showing we are protecting our assets). IANAL though so I'm just hypothesizing, happy to be wrong.
