Hey,
The answer for your question:
They use programming i.e python and some libaries, to create bots that interact with streaming platforms, behaving like real viewers.
These bots are quite sophisticated. They're programmed to join a live video at a specific time, remain watching for a set period, engage with the content by clicking 'like', and they can even leave comments.
So, how is this done? Well, it involves writing a series of precise commands that control the bots' every action to make them seem like actual viewers. For instance, this process might include setting up individual user accounts for each bot, scheduling their 'arrival' at a live stream, and scripting their interactions, among other things.
However, it's crucial to understand the obstacles to this approach. Streaming services like YouTube have rules against artificially boosting viewer numbers. They have measures to prevent such practices. For example, they might use CAPTCHAs to verify that a user is human, analyze the browser history (because, just like humans, bots use a browser – often a headless browser that doesn't display content on-screen), and look at other indicators of authentic behavior.
What does this mean for you?
Expect a lot of testing and a trial-and-error phase. You will likely encounter challenges like CAPTCHA prompts and the need to simulate a realistic browser history for each bot. It's going to be hard work, and although success isn't guaranteed, if you manage to navigate through these hurdles effectively, the result could be very rewarding.
Best,
Voldemort
