So I get that you have a bot you,ve made to access a URL and give it a certain amount of time for a view.

But how do sites that give Twitch/TikTok/Youtube views mimic 1000 viewers? I imagine they have to use some kind of proxy IP so it looks like it comes from other places. But do they just spin up 1000 VMs to give all the views? Or can you fake a view much simpler than that?

yeah like you imagined they just have a number of accounts and they use it to give views to many people using the same accounts
but they continuously create new accounts because those accounts won't last for a long time
 
View bot sites work by using automated software programs to generate fake views on websites, videos, or social media posts. These bots are designed to mimic human behavior, such as clicking on links, watching videos, and leaving comments. The purpose of these view bots is to give the appearance of popularity and engagement for the content, which can attract more organic traffic and engagement. However, using view bots is considered fraudulent and can result in penalties such as account suspension or even legal action. It is important to focus on creating high-quality content and building genuine engagement with your audience rather than relying on artificial means to boost your numbers.

To figure out how bot views work you first need to understand how a website like Twitch or YouTube counts "a view".

A "view" or "hit" is triggered when your browser loads a YouTube video/twitch stream and a certain piece of javascript gets executed.

This piece of javascript runs a few checks locally on your browser(like presence of certain cookies so if you refresh a page and the script gets executed again, it doesn't count it as a new "hit"). It then collects a fuckton of data (like your IP,timestamp, browser fingerprints,cookies, hardware info etc) and sends it to Youtube/Twitch's servers for processing.

The servers there then use this data to figure out if a hit is "legit" or not. This is why botted views take some time to drop.

So, to mimic 1000 users simultanously, All you have to do is spin up 1000 different browser instances on 1000 different devices (real or virtual) and point them all to that link.

The better you isolate these instances, and the better you figure out how to make the devices "look real", the better the views are going to stick.

Thank you for the excellent break down! Still learning but this gives me plenty of information to look into more.

If you have enough coding and systems dexterity, you will find that you can emulate a Chromium system with methods like Puppeteer. You can spoof any single aspect of a browser to make it feel real including, javascript loading and obviously controlling the UI.
From there, you only need rotating proxies with an API you can trigger to switch the IP each time you accomplish what you are looking for.
Otherise, you could simply go into a SMM panel and but this, because in most of the cases this is precisely what they are doing for you.
 
View bot sites inflate the amount of views, likes, and followers on a certain social media account or video. They usually utilize automated bots to mimic genuine user action, such as clicking on a video, watching it for a set amount of time, and even making comments. These exaggerated stats can make the account or video look more popular and visible, perhaps leading to greater organic interaction and monetization. However, using view bot sites is against most social media companies' terms of service and can result in account suspension or legal implications.

Dang, I was so close to working with Puppeteer over Selenium but went with Selenium because I was already familiar with it lol. Oh well, I'm here to learn so Puppeteer is on the list now.

This chatGPT replies are getting out of hand.
 
They use an endless supply of accounts as they get banned

View bot sites operate by simulating fraudulent viewers or followers on a certain website or platform using automated software. These bots are intended to replicate real-world user activity, such as clicking links, browsing through sites, and even making comments. This inflates the number of views or followers on a page, creating the illusion that the material is more popular than it is. View bot sites often demand a fee for their services, and while they may give a momentary increase in exposure, they can harm a user's reputation and trustworthiness in the long run. Furthermore, several social media networks and websites have implemented methods to detect and penalize the usage of view bots.
