    A watermark and a social media user, gross.

    Back in my day we had standards and people were expected to crop out all that bullshit before posting a meme.

    It’s sadly very wrong.

    The person selling the hat is also making fun and laughing at you. And has your personal information

    Oh man, good thing they changed colors and bolded part of it. I would have been totally lost.

    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

      Virtualization is easily detected.

        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”

    Forgive my ignorance, why is there a wall of cellphones?

      You’re looking at 7x14 cellphones per rack and at least 5 racks. So 490 phones. Each of them will have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and so on installed. A setup like that will give you the power to immediately downvote a Reddit post 500 times or to sell 500 followers on Instagram, boost a TikTok video with 500 views or post 500 comments to YouTube. You can play your YouTube video 500 times and earn money by doing that. Or you could totally kill every Lemmy post critizising the communist party of China by downvoting it 500x and posting 500 negative comments.

      And yes, there are thousands of those operations around

      This is what a bot farm looks like

      aka this is who you’re arguing with online.

      This is what a lot of Lemmy traffic comes from.

        There’s more phones on that rack than active Lemmy accounts

        How is it used? Are they remotely controlled by computer somehow or do they need someone going from phone to phone, putting stuff in manually?

    I bet OP believes that being the 2nd worst political party in the nation makes the democrats the good guys.
