The domain fallback built its guess from the REVIEW slug: when pdude.link
resolved to the porndudecams interstitial, "youperv-website-review" became
youperv-website-review.com, which of course refused the connection and the
candidate was filed as dead. That hit 15 of 144 entries, and among them were
youperv and pornbusy, which we later found independently and shipped at
4.5/5. Now the -website-review / -review suffix is stripped, and 13 of those
15 answer 200.
The audit also fetched with plain httpx, whose TLS fingerprint most
Cloudflare-fronted tubes reject, so timeouts and 403s were being read as
"dead" for sites that work fine in a browser. It now goes through
browser_get (curl_cffi), the same path our scrapers use, so the triage
finally measures what production sees.
Worth knowing before trusting the output: the heuristic score does NOT
predict a candidate's value to us. It matches cosmetic homepage markers,
and on sites we have since evaluated properly it scored youperv 0 and
pornbusy -1.5 (a false auth_wall) while giving 2.5 to hqfap, which we
removed as an orphan factory. Use the refreshed file as a list of live,
unexplored domains (95 of them) and judge each one on canonical match and
metadata quality, not on this number.
