Click (bot) farms Anonymous 10/21/2025 (Tue) 16:00:08 No. 24490
>You're from pakistan >No, you post this from india What are bot farms and how do they even work? Had their influence been studied?
They made everyone on imageboards irreparably schizophrenic
>>24490 Not sure what rabbit hole I dropped into but it seems these mobile phone farms are getting increasingly numerous. Some are used to disrupt mobile networks or eavesdrop, some are used to flood social media with fake accounts and push certain topics (political, advertising or other), or to earn money through manipulating social media algorithms. US Secret Service busted a SIM farm in NY last month. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/27/us/nyc-network-secret-service-investigation A week ago Europol busted a cartel of these farms in various EU countries (Austria, Latvia etc). https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/massive-sim-farm-network-powering-49-million-fake-accounts-taken-apart-by-europol Video related. >A SIM-box device is a piece of hardware that holds multiple SIM cards and is used to route international phone calls over local mobile networks to avoid official carrier fees. Criminals (and some businesses) use it to make international calls appear as local ones, bypassing legitimate operators. Yesterday, I happened to run into a bunch of jeets gloating how they make the software possible for some of these AI farms. Pic related. A look at one of their videos and it's a street shitter cooking slop while some, apparently, white dude sits in front of a bunch of mobile phones. Vid related. Normalfag social media is rife with fake accounts, we must be wary and educate our boomer parents.
>>24524 >AI UGC = AI-generated user‑generated content. It’s content that would normally come from users (photos, videos, text, reviews, avatars, captions, etc.) but is created or heavily assisted by AI tools. Keep looking into it, it's all jeets trying to grift money out of clueless boomers. Everything is fake.

>>24527 Jeets top to bottom.
>>24524 >powering 49 million fake accounts Holee shit. And these were just some literally who bums as well from the looks of it. Imagine at the state level? Whole internet is nothing but fake bullshit. I knew it was bad, and I guess I ultimately knew it was THIS bad, but I'm still shocked. I have actually noticed on reddit which I recently started using again although I'm pretty much done, in the past about 200 posts I've made, around a dozen accounts or so were instantly deleted after replying and arguing with me, the first one I just thought was a coincidence but it kept happening, and in the exact same way multiple times. Where I just called someone out on some obviously retarded take that wasn't being challenged, and then within less than 3 replies, every time on the third reply of theirs the account is mass deleted and all posts removed in less than a minute. I imagine major companies are just astroturfing the shit out of any discussion on there and passing it off as real discourse. The whole place seems like nothing but shadows on the wall of the most bizarre opinions which make a lot more sense now if I assume they're just AI bots. I actually went on a subreddit for the location I live, because in my area, the power company has been accused of scamming by a giant portion of the population, so much so that they've had to do a bunch of public audits/inspections and internal investigations and have had a shit load of negative media coverage about it, and on the subreddit for my area, there was nothing but people doing damage control for the electric company. And anyone who so much as mentioned what every other person in the actual real world is saying is getting a bunch of """""people""""" replying calling them idiots, morons, uneducated, you dont know shit, you're imagining it, you can't read the meter, the company said it's calculations are right, who the hell do you think you are accusing them etc etc etc. I honestly thought for a while it was just brain dead morons being brain dead morons but now I'm 100% sure it was just a mini bot farm probably from the electric company. I mean who the fuck goes online and shills for a god damn electric company for free in their spare time, let alone right now when everyone and their grandmother is accusing them of fucking us over? Fuck the internet
