I work with botting programs as part of my job. It is ridiculously easy to set up a computer to automate tasks for you. And somehow, there are people who still won't believe a company would stack the deck in their favor like this.
I know someone like this in RL. Real life humans that think that a company that invests 300 millions in a product would not spend 50k on bots to boost their product or give a few thousands to streamers to shill for them.
Dead internet
it's real
I see these everywhere now. It's easy when you know to look for them. The username is always some randomly generated nonsense with a bunch of numbers at the end. The channel itself has no content and they only post comments shilling X Y or Z brand or cause.
how would someone get past the bot filters that sites like YouTube have? do you just delay login requests so that it doesn't trigger a captcha?
It would be funny -- yet on brand -- for Youtube to allow certain people to bypass the bot detection.
I would be surprised if they aren't doing that
They could easily have a "Give comment +1K" option for people on the inside.
Bot filters? HA!
You should see the comment sections of pro wrestling channels, especially F4WOnline whenever they talk about AEW.
The INSTANT a video about them goes live, the usual suspects come in to trash the company, no matter what time of day it is.
It never happens toward WWE. Just AEW.
It's just as bad on X, as Dave Meltzer has noted. And yes, he did the math on those response numbers.
Can you please make a guide for small easy ones? So people who don't know how can learn to make them.
Why do you want to make bots?
The favorite response of every redditor to anything mildly emotion inducing.
