This is of course just a joke.Encrypting with base64 is not very effective in preventing brute-force attacks on connections.
But it can indeed deter some lazy people who just crawl web links. After all, you need to manually convert the link.
As for encrypting gofile and zip files, please, some files from the past few months, even some files from yesterday with extremely, extremely, extremely simple passwords, could stump at least 10 people who don't want to use their brains just by playing a little word game. Oh, and these people don't even want to use AI.
In reality, most people encrypt files simply to make others realize their value.
“Bro, do you know how many dollars this 50GB file costs?”
The current approach to encrypting files is primarily aimed at protecting links, allowing them to survive as long as possible.
Actually, there's another simple method: re-upload.Some users don't like to re-upload themselves. Here, even if a GoFile file only takes half an hour to upload, at least a hundred people will download it.
If everyone could be a little more enthusiastic and gentle...
