>UHS was started as a massive open source project on a now-defunct black hat IRC channel
>Dates all the way back to 2002
>it stands for Ultimate Hacking Setup
>does tons of shit that has nothing to do with music/film/rating
>"Auto-rater" was an offshoot of a last.fm spoofing extension that allowed people to scrobble through hundreds of songs from any artist within seconds
>the RYM extension of UHS was popularized by sp59 and AlRog and became widespread throughout the RYM community by 2008
>Although technically open source, most extensions are hosted by UHS Hub which is invite only
>Nowadays UHS Hub invites and accounts go for upwards of $200

Also
>UHS used to trip RYM's bot detector and got some prominent users banned
>Modern UHSers use a loophole in RYM's rule that says they need to listen to what they rate by "technically" listening to it
>They simply input album folders into the UHS program and it crunches them all into a few files
>Hundreds of hours of music becomes around 6 hours, completely lossless
>UHSers then listen to the output files at night while they sleep, usually with the volume on their computers set to 0.01%
>Meanwhile UHS is at work stripping the metadata from the files to match with releases on the RYM database and rate them automatically
>The ratings it gives are based on an open source algorithm
>Default algorithm will basically make your high ratings dadrock, but prominent UHSers usually modify it
>Esichio is theorized to be a test account for figuring out "what algorithm AntiWarhol would have"
