About Vermin of the Internet
The sole purpose of this site is to expose the vermin that infest the internet.
Not the actual rodents. I like actual rodents. They're intelligent, clean, and mostly just trying to get by.
I'm talking about the other kind. The grifters. The fear merchants. The pseudoscience peddlers. The people who sell $30 bottles of vitamin D with a countdown timer and a fake Harvard logo. The "neuroscientists" who wrap common sense in jargon and sell it back to you as a protocol. The Facebook ads narrated by Tibetan monks who don't exist, selling lymphatic resets they've never heard of.
These people aren't innovators. They're the snake-oil salesmen of old, updated for the algorithmic age. They used to move from town to town. Now they change company names, spin up a new Shopify store, and reach millions before breakfast.
This site is a corkboard. I pin specimens here, the scams, the products, the funnels, the claims. I label them. I explain how they work. Not because I think I'll stop them. Because someone should at least point and say:
Look.
Look at this.
This is what we've built.
Who I Am
I'm a 71-year-old Welshman living in Italy. I got online thirty years ago through a screeching 2400 baud modem. One of the first sites I visited had the script of the Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch, stored on a server in Australia. That internet—slow, small, and not trying to sell me anything is still the one I believe in.
I write about birds, bees, wasps, and my childhood in Swansea elsewhere. This is the room in the pub where I pin the bastards to the wall.
