Laughed so hard when I read this one :D

I‘d say it was heavily AI assisted
Holy shit, Rickrolling is among the more harmless things you could have done with that.
One question though, how do you know your feed would kick off the 'real' feed if you pushed to RTMP, does it just take the most recent connection as live? Does the protocol have a mechanism for dealing with multiple people pushing to the same endpoint? There maybe more checking on that endpoint and if course I'm sure most live broadcasters would have a live director to cut any feeds at their end if a dodgy feed popped up too.
A huge vulnerability nonetheless and a great write up!
If you used AI to generate the blog post, did you use AI to generate the screenshots and story?
"If you want human attention show human effort" or something in that direction. I think this fits here just right.
What I don't understand is this: 'Show sincerity'—that is, a human value. If it were AI-generated, stitched-together false content, I'd understand, but I see quite a few interesting points.
Whenever I see things like this, I always think of Sturgeon's law: 90% is bad, and only 10% is interesting. I get that most AI-generated content is AI slop. But even back when only humans could write, there were plenty of clickbait articles.
I agree that GEN AI spam content is generally bad, and I also agree that some of it may lack effort. But honestly, I'm not sure this content is completely meaningless.
Regardless of the packaging, if the content inside is interesting and valuable enough, I think that's what matters. I guess we just see things quite differently.
So what I'm saying is, I don't agree with the idea that he didn't care at all.

FIFA is a legendarily awful organization. In my weaker moments reading your piece I thought to myself how nice it would have been if someone more ruthless than you had been made an example of them.
FIFA gets disproportionate amount of attention and, ofc, high-level corruption scandals, but I would say it's more like a by-product of the sheer scale of the football, and not a problem with FIFA itself. I believe most sports federations in the world are very far from FIFA in terms of governance, but also from facing problems that FIFA has.

I really needed to push myself to read because it was very interesting and thank you, for doing the work and sharing.
During COVID, lots of live shows (concerts, etc.) in Japan moved to streaming (and most of them stuck, so thanks to that, lots of large concerts today have real-time streaming, which is great for foreign fans).
Out of 10+ platforms, more than half have vulnerabilities that allow you to access the content freely (sometimes including the rehearsals, because they are also streamed internally), and on a handful, you can access the admin panel and, as the author said, stream whatever you want.
Most of them have been patched over the years (some are just the byproduct of them changing the backend/SaaS provider, though), but there remain some major providers where you can get content for free.
If this is true, why help them if they do not take their own security seriously, especially if they have vibe-coded their auth backend server?
The broadcast contribution feeds I’ve seen in the past are MPEG-TS, not via RTMP.
Still a great find.
We can adjust our expectations for people to take some time to make the output theirs.
OTOH, and this is me arguing against myself, maybe this is not too different than the million web sites we saw using the unmodified default bootstrap theme.
I guess my opinions as well as the response of the community are still evolving.

I don't know about you, but I'd love to read a fascinating story written by a relatively poor writer. But if they can't be bothered to write, I assume the story can't be that good.
But the haters are going to hate.
If you had not used AI to fix your post, I bet the top post will be complaining about your grammar.
Some people will always find something negative. Simple as that.
It's not X, it's Y. And repetitions of three.
Not everyone who has something interesting to say is a good writer, and I think it's great if AI can help them tell their stories.

Would you really want to work for one of the world’s most notoriously corrupt organizations?
