The Third BitView Leak

I was recently told on my Discord server that told that BitView has suffered yet another leak. This leak appears to originate from the Sharty and is about 316.5 gigabytes in size. I believe this export originates from a personal backup done by someone over at the "Kolyma Network" when sks and Evie were attempting to buy the site, as it was on the verge of shutting down.

The "Kolyma Network" was some bullshit "group" à la Bittoco ran by Kuz around 2022-2023 that held VidLii, BitView, soyjak.party, and IIRC some lolisho gore sites. I don't know much, but from what I'm aware, Kuz was some fuckwad from Russia who was buying sites who he thought were "close enough" to 4chan. Around the start of 2022, Kuz (or lolwut?) bought VidLii from Jan, VidLii's creator, as he was kicked from Google AdSense and was forced to use very dodgy alternatives that made people get redirected straight to porn and all other kinds of bullshit. BitView was included in this sale, after a period of decline.

Why am I saying this? I recall Evie telling me at some point in time that after the purchase that there was still a copy of BitView on the VidLii servers. I sincerely believe this originates from that copy. Unlike the previous leak from a few months back, this leak does not come from sks2002 and OkayHush's complete incompetence in trying to migrate over the website to a different server. This is old data from a few years ago.

I honestly doubt that BitView will ever return from this "maintenance". All of the competent people left a while ago, which is why the maintenance even began. sks doesn't know shit about running a website, Hush takes her sweet ass time doing anything, and I don't know about COCKSOCK (who turns out is actually a real person and not just another alter ego of Hush). I would go as far as to say that BitView may very well be defunct.

I have seen their recent posts on Bluesky, and I very well believe that this so-called "new team" is going to be them but with brand new aliases. Hush has done this exact same bullshit within Vlare many years ago and look what happened to it. It's dead.

This will be my last post on BitView unless if some other incident occurs. Take care.

ADDENDUM (May 4 2026): I have downloaded the data myself. Per my own analysis, I can confirm that this data is from March 2023. The bitview_live database dates from June 23 2022 and is in a fucked state. The source code also appears to be from June 23 2022.
