[00:02] on the couch, glued to your phone, browsing some marketplace and seeing some cases, sneakers, headphones and all sorts of other crap. Scroll down the page a little and you reach the reviews. And everything is written there according to the standard, that it [00:16] arrived in 3 days, the box is intact, the quality is super and blah-blah-blah. A completely normal routine that every buyer goes through every time. Now let's take a second to imagine a picture and look at a completely different side of the [00:31] internet, where a person wouldn't access it through a regular browser, where simply enormous and completely criminal money is circulating. And for selling local goods, as they say, you can easily go away for a bottle for 15 years. [00:45] And herein lies the main paradox. In this market, the laws of ordinary capitalism work in exactly the same way. There is huge competition for buyers there. There are brands, their own discounts, as strange as it may sound, their own [01:01] review system. Only instead of assessing the quality of the plastic or the smoothness of the seams, people there, in all seriousness, describe in detail how exactly they were beaten after use. Have you ever wondered where all these [01:15] popular YouTube bloggers come from, who create tons of content about various descriptions of substances? For example, the same Scammers or all those like him? These are the types who collect millions of views on stories like: "How a person sees the [01:30] world under the influence of drugs." And I hope you do n’t think that they actually use all this themselves and test it on themselves? Of course not. At least the vast majority of them value their health and freedom. I [01:43] hope so. In fact, everything is much, much simpler. They simply open up databases where thousands of ordinary people work with real lab rats for a free dose or a small boost to their balance . In this [01:58] specific environment they are called testers. This is a full-fledged, albeit completely illegal, profession, which has its own strict rules. And today , without unnecessary censorship or romanticism, we will analyze in detail how this very system of [02:13] quality control of prohibited goods is structured. You'll find out why a free lunch in this business is literally the shortest path to the grave. How do people build careers and [02:26] gain some credibility in the digital vacuum by providing detailed reports on their trips, and why do platforms use users as cannon fodder? This is a dark archive. Let's get started. Let's start with the most important thing. Why would a shop essentially give away its goods for free? [02:41] This is pure crime. Why waste resources here? And if you look at it through the eyes of the owner of such a business, everything falls into place. This is a purely commercial calculation. Distribution of samples solves three important tasks for any [02:56] shop. Firstly, it is absolutely free advertising with target audience coverage. Each report written by a tester is published in the store's open trading thread, which is viewed daily by thousands of full-fledged [03:09] customers. This is the purest form of native advertising. And ordinary users come in, read the lively and genuine emotions of another person, but then they understand that they need to buy the product. More or less, that's how it works. Secondly, [03:24] as strange as it may sound, this is a show of force. The problem is that organizing and maintaining a full-fledged testing system is a huge, difficult, bureaucratic undertaking. To do this, you need to hire dedicated people, [03:37] coordinators, who will manage this whole mess, track deadlines, and weed out the inadequate ones, and you understand that there are a lot of them there. Therefore, if an ordinary buyer sees on a forum that a store is constantly holding large-scale sample giveaways [03:51] involving random people and dozens of testers, this is a clear signal to them. In front of him is a stable, adequate shop, if he can afford it. But behind all the marketing lies a much [04:05] darker purpose. The main and most terrible goal of these distributions is to test the safety and quality of raw materials on living people. Let's imagine that a store has purchased a huge batch of wholesale goods from some new chemist or [04:20] random supplier. Conducting full-fledged chemical analyses in independent certified laboratories is, well, pointless, stupidly expensive, time-consuming, and logistically almost impossible. How then can one quickly [04:34] and reliably verify that the powder sent is pure and does not contain any lethal impurities, random poisons, or residues of undercooked chemical reagents? There is only one way out - to give away a small part of this [04:48] batch for free to testers and carefully observe whether they survive or not, and what they write in their reports. That's all. It turns out that testers on the darknet are just ordinary, expendable living birds. like in a deep mine. [05:03] An interesting analogy is that in the 19th century, when miners went underground, they always took with them a small cage with a bird. Methane often accumulates in mines . It has no color [05:16] or smell, and a person may simply not notice the danger until it is too late. But the little bird reacts to all this instantly. She's just dying. And then the diggers begin to understand that something is fishy here, and they [05:30] begin to go to the surface. So , testers are, in essence, the same birds. They are the very account between the dangerous goods and the end buyer. And they essentially take the hit themselves. And it is at these stages of [05:45] quality control that fatal and terrible mistakes regularly occur. A mistake at the raw material delivery stage almost always results in a mountain of corpses. For the average consumer, this is an automatic death sentence. He buys a [06:00] regular Ziploc bag at the store, thinking it contains a standard dose, measures out his route, uses it, and very quickly dies from an overdose. The problem was that the actual concentration or type of substance turned out to be tens of times [06:15] stronger than what was usually stated on the display case. And such cases occur regularly in this area . Only the cities and names change. and so on. Well, let's take a break from the horrors and look at what the actual procedure for this [06:30] come out, the person who receives the samples is obliged to complete a so- called trip report. And this, as we have already said, is not just a short reply. This is a huge structured text. And if you decide to study the structure and [06:45] look at how they are written, you will be surprised at how strictly everything is regulated there and how much information needs to be entered there. It all starts with the first block. This is logistics and valuation of the stash. The tester begins his story from the [06:58] moment he receives the coordinates of the bookmark. He describes in great detail exactly where his test order was hidden, how clear the photographs were, whether the coordinates on the map matched the actual location, and whether [07:12] the person had to dig the ground in front of people. The second point is that very bookmark. The treasure must be placed properly. The third point is product packaging. Prohibited substances are very sensitive to moisture and air, so the [07:27] quality standard here is very, very strict. The product must be packed in at least two sealed bags and tightly wrapped with several layers of tape or protective vacuum film. If a tester arrives at the location, finds a package, but [07:43] sees that the packaging is torn or poorly wrapped, this is a huge minus for the store. The tester will definitely write about this and the courier will get a slap on the back of the head for such negligence . And through such test distributions, stores often test the [07:57] couriers themselves, as well as newcomers who have just started. They are given a master class with samples. And if the testers then find nothing at their coordinates, it means the new courier is either stealing the goods or is completely unprofessional. And only [08:11] after assessing the logistics does the description of the substance's effect on the body begin. The sensations are described literally minute by minute, like in a medical journal and everything like that. It looks something like this: I took a dose at 2:00 PM, the [08:27] first physical changes occurred at 2:15 PM, and then everything is described from A to Z. Well, let's figure out why people agree to this nonsense. As we already found out a little earlier, the first reason is freebies. A free dose for a drug addict [08:42] is simply manna from heaven. And to avoid working as a tester, be sure to visit our Telegram channel. We have already posted an article there under the Navigator hashtag. We've compiled a list of safe online jobs that are suitable for [08:54] everyone: with reputations, reviews, and everything in between. The link will be the first in the description below this video. But in reality, stores allocate small portions of goods simply for testing. Usually this is a very small volume. If [09:08] we're talking about a cheap, mass-produced product, the tester will be allocated 1 gram. If the product is expensive, like coconut, for example, the gram count is much smaller. In general, it is issued there purely for one time, just to [09:21] understand the quality. The store opens a special forum thread, users start flooding it with requests, and the store's administration then chooses who to send the contact information to. The selection scheme is completely different for everyone. Some random [09:35] little shops keep threads open all the time. If a reasonable person goes there the coordinates. But it's not just about the free stuff. The second reason is digital reputation and status. [09:49] Just understand one thing. On the dark web, there are no laws, no police, and, in principle, no place to complain. This whole business is based solely on authority. And if you have an empty account on the forum, registered yesterday, no [10:01] one will even engage in a dialogue with you. But if you spend months writing honest, highly detailed reports and including product photos in all your comments, your digital weight begins to grow, and a [10:15] caste system develops within the community. A regular user will be rejected for any messages, but if they prove their usefulness, the forum administration may even, after a ton of checks, officially grant the profile the status of [10:29] verified tester. It's like a blue checkmark with verification on various social networks. Well, the third reason is simply money. Large marketplaces regularly hold internal competitions for personalized weekly or monthly countdowns. And the [10:42] prize funds can range from 5 to 10,000 rubles. for one text, and in some cases even more. The whole thing is paid for in cash, and for many addicts it turns into an ideal job, [10:56] because they get the substances for free and also earn good money on top of that, just for free use. But this raises another question: what's stopping some sly user from simply signing up for a sample giveaway, [11:10] getting the coordinates of some substance, coming to pick it up, and disappearing. Nobody will go to the police. And I'll say right away , all these horror stories from the internet are about how some unscrupulous tester will have some [11:23] tough guys with bats come to his house and break his fingers, that is, his sports fingers. These are nothing more than myths and fairy tales to scare people. In reality, no one would spend huge amounts of money and risk their safety for a small dose [11:37] . Everything is decided at the account level. They simply block him, and he can’t access the forum, the platform, and so on. Typically, a person is given exactly 1 week for the entire cycle from the moment the coordinates are issued to the publication of the finished report [11:52] . If the tester doesn't contact or publish any text within these 7 days, the seller sends a message to the technical section of the forum that this person should be banned. It's something like a blacklist of tasters. Magazin Plus [12:06] posts screenshots, correspondence, and the given coordinates, and officially declares the user a scam. After this, the administration adds violations to the profile and your reputation suffers. This account is now marked as a scam. No [12:19] other store will ever give him a single gram for free again. And even just making a regular purchase will be quite difficult. And this is how the underside of the Internet works. A very vicious cycle of [12:33] cynicism about human weakness, where each participant tries to snatch their share of the profit, as in principle everywhere. And they often don’t notice how they walk on the edge of the abyss, so as not to end up on a bottle. Shop owners get free [12:48] PR and perfect quality control, while addicts play Russian roulette with death every day for the sake of a simple freebie. And now, returning to the very beginning of our conversation. Where do you think [13:01] popular YouTube bloggers like Scammers get their stories for their videos about various substances? Yes, they simply go to shadow forums and in a couple of evenings download tens of thousands and hundreds of [13:15] comments and trip reports. There are simply thousands of human situations, tragedies, call them what you will, available in the public domain. And believe me, they are scheduled down to the minute. Our Internet is much more complex, cynical and [13:29] gloomy than it seems to most ordinary users. And behind every beautiful or frightening video there often lies a strange, very unsightly reality and a truly broken fate. You can watch a video about safe work for interest [13:43] in the pinned video at the end of this video. That's all from me for today. Take care of yourself. Stay as far away from all this dirt as possible. Never get involved in easy money making on the Internet and always think [13:57] exclusively with your own head.
