> Also worth noting that her own website, registered in July of 2022, has posts backdated to April and March of 2021, which is strange to say the least.

So if you register a new domain name, you have to go back and edit your site's publication dates to be on or after the date in your whois record? lol?

Well, if your site was created on that date according to ICANN records, and you have multiple posts implying that it existed before that, it's one more little piece of a wider pattern of misdirection such as the stuff discussed above. So yeah, it does seem a bit odd.

But that's not what the record indicates. You are confusing the concepts of a site and a domain name. A name points to a site. A site can exist before a name is registered.

It looks like her site used to be hosted at studiokittiya.com[1] which was registered in 2020.
