    I do find it interesting that thousands of discrete devices is somehow easier than them virtualising them devices.

      Probably it’s cheaper to get 60 used low-end devices than one device that can run 60 copies of the Facebook app.

        Bingo. People treat phones like they’re disposable, and buying pallets of old functional phones is shockingly affordable

        Yeah but why would facebook/x bother to check? Engagement is engagement. They already know there are millions of bots and don’t care.

          My guess: it is a low hanging fruit and then they can say “Look! We blocked X million bots! So you can trust the users that are left… please don’t look into it any more”
