    This was such a bad idea

    Through and through one of the stupidest business ideas I’ve ever heard.

    I wonder how advertisers feel about this. If these bot profiles have all the same access as regular users I’m sure they’d interact with advertisements in some way but aren’t even real people.

      I’m pretty sure those bots just answer to stuff and don’t surf the page like regular visitors

      I have to admit, I didn’t really look into it, but hooking in the bot, just as a real user, to the typically front-end doesn’t really sound efficient
