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.
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.
