It operates by promoting browser notification spam and redirecting users to other (likely unreliable/hazardous) websites. Most visitors enter these pages through redirects caused by sites utilizing rogue advertising networks.

Totalniceposts[.]com overview

It is noteworthy that the behavior of rogue websites (i.e., what they host/endorse) might differ depending on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations).

At the time of research, totalniceposts[.]com displayed a stuttering progress loading bar. Below it were the following instructions – "Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching" – thereby implying that allowing notification delivery is crucial to resume watching online content.

Rogue websites utilize their browser notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These ads primarily endorse online scams, untrustworthy/dangerous software, and even malware.
