Some of thumbnail pics i managed to get from her patreon, if anyone know a very good image upscaler (almost impossible to upscale these) then tell us so

Hello, I’m glad I activated the community, I made a rather curious discovery, let me share it with you.

• The full set of images I got directly from Patreon itself — right click and you can see the image link, it has a hash. That’s because they’re protected by a payment system: once you pay, the blur disappears. That means the original high-quality image isn’t in the HTML, it’s hosted on an alternate server and only delivered once it’s unlocked through the hash after payment. If you manage to emulate that process, you’re a real hacker and basically have all of Patreon in your hands hahaha, but it’s a real thing.
• If you open a Patreon account and follow someone without paying, you’ll get an alert email from Patreon and their automated notification system. The interesting part here is that if you look closely, you’ll notice the email actually contains a single picture from the set — just one unfortunately, but if you pay attention you’ll see the blur is lighter than the one on the Patreon page. So that one image in the email can be enhanced more easily with AIs (Gemini, Qwen, others online). The ones you grab directly from Patreon have much heavier blur, so the security is stronger — but hey, it’s Patreon, that’s their business, it moves a lot of money, no surprise there.
• As for image upscaling, I found this repository that’s at least interesting to check out: In the video description, you’ll find the GitHub with the .JSON for ComfyUI.

Content so the post isn’t boring.

That's true, after i recently just started following her on patreon without subscription i noticed i'd get an image on my email talking about what a new post that had been made. About the images from patreon thats what i did to get the those images I posted eariler. I got the image link from inspect element on patreon and ran it thru exiftool to get the thumbnail images that are not blurred, the problem with it, is that the resolution of those pictures are extremely small to the point where upscaling is impossible. Also here's some more thumbnails i got from her patreon pics on that really expensive post.

"I managed to improve these images based on yours using Gemini. The prompt was: my image turned out small, can you help me make it bigger and sharper? Note: try it yourself, and if it works well, share them with me. There are some that it doesn’t want to improve; it gets stuck or has issues. Maybe if we all cooperate, it could work hahaha. Cheers, thanks for helping!
