Back after 10 years.. my goodness have things changed

vaxop23 · Oct 20, 2025

Back in the day I used to post on several websites such as youtube, myspace, craigslist. It was so easy. You could make thousands of accounts and post tens of thousands of ads/comments. You could make $4000 a day just posting cam girls. Then slowly it got harder - they added phone verification. No biggie, you just pay a dollar for a number and get it verified. Then it got harder still.

So I went to school and got a degree. Now I am coming back and things are unbelievably difficult. I hardly see a fake tiktok comment, video, or bot account (that stays alive).

How are you guys doing this? How are you holding up? We are fighting corporations with billions of dollars hiring the most intelligent people to stop spam/bots.

I thought it may be a good idea to buy 100 phones and make 100 accounts on everything and automate with uiautomator or something - then I realized just how quickly accounts get shadowbanned unless its a 'real' person. They monitor dozens of variables, including your accelerometer (are you moving the phone?), if debugging is open, etc, etc etc. It seems nearly impossible.

So I thought maybe you need to get a robot and a stylus to automate things - but the robots cost hundreds of dollars.

I feel so lost. How is everyone else doing?

You're spot on about the deep monitoring. It's not just about a phone number anymore. Trying to push large quantities of activity with basic setups will lead to rapid account termination.

I can just feel the genuine frustration from reading your post and it’s kinda funny : D

There are so many internet tricks that used to work so well but are now gone for good.
But we will always evolve and even when these corporations crack down on what used to work, people will find a new way around it. It’s a continuous cycle : D

I hope you get some helpful answers from people who really know about automation and running bots. Cheers mate : D

I totally agree is not what was before is clearly much harde r to get the things done now and use multiple accounts ..... Is still possible to run the automation but much harder that make running ads better sometime.

Sounds like you got a lot of catching up to do, 10 years out of it isn't just a little bit, that's a complete moon change in tech.

It also sounds EASIER, but in reality, it wasn't...

It's just super simple to say it was "all so easier back then," but that's what the new generation says about 2025; it's just because you are not aware of it yet.

Imagine being born with AI and being able to prompt a e-commerce site and 50+ ads in minutes, each PHASE has it's gold imo.

If you REALLY were able to make 5K, then why didn't you run it for months on end...?

5K X 100 days = 500K
5K X 200 days = 1 Million

I made 5k days back then, so I know it was possible, but I also know it wasn't as easy as you make it out to be. Keeping the money wasn't as easy either, such as a stupid investment, and so on...

People born in the crypto era would say that's the golden age, AI, Agentic AI...

Unless you are coming here with 5 million to your name, as IT WAS EASY back then, you CLEARLY seem just to remember the GOOD moments and totally forgot it took time to find shit like that out, it wasn't consistent so you are here for a do-over, which is obviously expired information now.

It's human nature to look back and remember just the positive side of things, but it's simply a false reflection that human beings like to have.

People love to repeat that historical events were SO EASY, but the reality is, you didn't think like that when you were actually doing it; it was trial and error.

I could look back and think OMG, I wish I had just spent 2 years doing FB Group spam, it was so easy to make 5k days with that, but I didn't?

I wish I had bought 1 million worth of Bitcoin back then for 1k total, but I didn't.

LIFE in general is a long, shit phase of decision-making that absolutely makes and breaks your entire career; those decisions are GOLD, and those exact same decisions are made in 2025.

Lmao be REAL with yourself, you fucked up on decision making and now phrase the past because it just feels more difficult now?

The biggest reality check in life is knowing that your decisions back then were off unless you actually back then decided to set yourself up for generational wealth, but you didn't?

See how in the end that statement just makes zero sense?

Damn dude - all I did was make a statement of how different things are. The reason I did not continue 'making 5k a day' is because I went to medical school and it was hard to juggle both. There was uncertainty of the future in the bot world (at the time I was making a killing on Craigslist erotic section - that section disappeared overnight one day and my income went from 5k a day to 500 a day).

All I am saying is how much things have changed and I want to talk with intelligent people of how we can bypass the current blocks that are in place.
