Had anyone gotten the code to work?

Closest thing I got was a Google image search near match for an xvideos qr

its not a real qr code,
there is no timing pattern between the 3 big squares.

there has to be a black and white alternating pattern between the inner corners of the three squares, that afaik is used to determine the size of pixels while scanning.

Doesn't appear to be a valid qr code. Couldn't get Binary Eye to read it.
