You can very easily spoof user-agent strings (A common trick people use for generating Windows isos is by spoofing their user-agent so that the Microsoft website doesn't know you're using Windows). You don't even really need to change the emulator settings; just change the data that you send to the web servers and they can't tell the difference.
Well yes if they skip some steps while setting up the emulators then they might give themselves away, but if they did do it correctly then I imagine it would be more cost efficient than buying a thousand physical devices. I just don't believe you have to be a genius to mimic a physical device with an emulator.
I used to have Spotify premium but they kept advertising butt-ugly niggers on my front page even though I never listen to rap. I ended up using a python script to download all of my liked songs and then canceled my membership.
Well the script didn't download them from Spotify. Instead it looks them up on Youtube and downloads them from there as mp3 files. I didn't really notice a difference in sound quality, but some tracks did get mixed up and would sometimes be an hour long file when it should have only been 5 mins.
dead Internet Fact
Seems a bit wasteful. Just get one reasonably beefy server and spin up a couple thousand emulators.
For real, this seems like an utter mess to manage, especially if they're trying to do anything at scale.
Well, they're doing it this way, so it must have some benefit.

You assume companies give a shit about preventing fraud.

Were the downloaded tracks of good quality?
Well the script didn't download them from Spotify. Instead it looks them up on Youtube and downloads them from there as mp3 files. I didn't really notice a difference in sound quality, but some tracks did get mixed up and would sometimes be an hour long file when it should have only been 5 mins.
Youtube quality tracks are bad, though.
Oh, I didn't know that. I guess my untrained ears don't pick up on those things.
I know of one guy who's been on these wins since the domain launched.
He has over FORTY different accounts, alternating between them daily. Some have been banned from all of Scored.
So I believe it.
I know he's from Australia, but that's all. No, it's not that one India guy haunting KIA2 right now.
