This video is how I learned what an HTTP request is. So crazy
my favorite time in sneaker twitter was pre ~2019. it was a much more collaborative, less transactional environment. just a group of people working together to solve interesting problems. at a certain point it got extremely cutthroat, bot devs receiving death threats (ultimately the reason I stopped doing it), people paying hundreds of thousands for bypasses, it was a fascinating market but no longer something I wanted to be a part of.
10 years ago when I was 16 or so, I did a twitch stream for a couple hours showing people how to code their own bots and uploaded it to youtube. at that time I was making pretty good money for a high schooler but the group of people I was working with was much more interested in just solving difficult problems than making as much money as possible, and it felt closer to an open source community than anything else

I’m running a business/technology club at Rutgers University this year
If you’re in the area and want to talk to students about entrepreneurship or something cool from sneaker botting, send me a DM and we can set something up (might be able to make virtual work too)
Thank you @spikeballchris for being the first speaker of the semester. It was a super insightful talk about starting/growing Spikeball and the process of launching new products

Recently, I have seen multiple Twitter threads referencing GOAT’s shady business practices during their Black Friday event.
In light of this, I would like to share my story.

How @washeddark and I automated the solving of GOAT Black Friday captchas and demolished the FCFS releases (I still have the Diamond Supply Co. dunks that I hit for $75)

This was a pretty big deal, considering most PX blocks occurred on the PlaceOrder endpoint. This bypass worked for several drops until they patched it by automatically returning a 403 whenever the string "CheckoutServices-PlaceOrder" was present in a Yottaa URL.
