Some sites always appear with the username I entered even though it doesn't exist about sherlock

Yep. Also xhamster and heavy-r for NSFW. This tool doesn't seem to work at all for me. It doesn't even find things I can find on google or the biggest social media platforms.

Same for me

I have 2 usernames that I use on different sites, and the following websites came up for both of them (in NSFW mode). I have never created accounts on them, and as far as I know, I'm the only one to ever use either username, both of which are rather distinct.

• https://hackerearth.com/@{user}
• https://motherless.com/m/{user}
• https://music.yandex/users/{user}/playlists
• https://www.baby.ru/u/{user}/
• https://www.cgtrader.com/{user}
• https://www.g2g.com/{user}
• https://www.metacritic.com/user/{user}
• https://www.modelhub.com/{user}/videos
• https://xhamster.com/users/{user}

Informally testing some of those:

hackerEarth currently redirects all URLs to a page stating that it's down for maintenance until 02:30 UTC on February 21, 2024, so that issue is likely temporary.

YandexMusic, in a Firefox private window, after a CAPTCHA, displayed a 404 page for one of them, but for curl --fail on the same exact URL, returns an empty output with no error code.

G2G redirects to the homepage for both of my usernames, but displays the user page for the test username from data.json.

CGTrader redirets to https://www.cgtrader.com/not_found for both of my usernames, but redirects to the user page for the test username from data.json

Metacritic does not display the "User not found" string when accessed using curl, and in a Firefox private window, it displays a message simply stating that "This user hasn’t rated anything yet".

BabyRU displays an error page reading Доступ с вашего IP-адреса временно ограничен, which, according to Google Translate, translates to "Access from your IP address is temporarily limited". I don't know if that's because I was messing with this tool or because my IP address is from the USA.

Update - 3 days later

Ran the same tests again on 2024-02-23 at around 12:35 PM EST (17:35 UTC), and the following came up on both again, despite still not creating an account on any of the platforms.

• https://www.cgtrader.com/{user}
• https://coinvote.cc/profile/{user}
• https://www.g2g.com/{user}
• https://www.modelhub.com/{user}/videos
• https://www.metacritic.com/user/{user}
• https://xhamster.com/users/{user}

The following did not come up anymore:

• https://hackerearth.com/@{user}
• https://motherless.com/m/{user}
• https://music.yandex/users/{user}/playlists
• https://www.baby.ru/u/{user}/

The following new site did come up for both, despite the fact that I've never used it:

• https://coinvote.cc/profile/{user}

It appears that Coinvote is having some issues - all user pages I tried, including the test username for that site which should exist, redirect to a 404 page, but return HTTP code 302 for the redirection, and the 404 page itself returns HTTP code 200. I assume that they recently changed the layout, and messed up both accessing user profiles and properly returning the 404 error for their 404 page.

Hope this info is helpful!

This found 1 site for me that was a legitimate find, other than that...most were garbage and not useful or helpful.
