- cnst 8mo agoThey've changed usernames they use to post under. That's the only "altered" allegation they've been accused of. BTW, they also alter paywalls and other elements, because otherwise, many websites won't show the main content these days. It kind of seems like "altered" is the new "hacker" today?

Compare (the changed element is near the very bottom of the page; replace the "[dot]" since these URLs seem to trigger spam filters for some commenters): archive [dot] is/gFD6Z megalodon [dot] jp/2026-0219-1628-23/https://archive.is:443/gFD6Z https://archive.is:443/gFD6Z
