divisionind / ytviewbot

A bot to view youtube videos (or possibly any site).

YTViewBot - just a YouTube view bot

Depreciated

This project was just a little fun to reverse how YouTube signifies a "view". However, the overhead of running selenium instances, or any virtual browser process for that matter, is extreme given the amount of views these processes generate. The only practical method for view botting on modern YouTube is to: a) reverse how a "view" is calculated b) only process these bare minimum view requirements

Furthurmore one would have to continually update such a bot to keep up with the changing view requirements put out by YouTube.
