FYI, this is a repost bot that was created specifically to farm karma.

It posts about every 10 minutes, in a variety of subs, stealing a top 20 post. If it is a text post, it will be word for word. The following are examples of actual stolen content:

• Original Post someone made of a simulation / [stolen bot post]( Bot post )
• Original text post on Netflix asking about content browsing (Jan 18) / Stolen bot post

Yet ANOTHER stolen post

People tend to comment or wonder, "Why in earth make such a bot?" The answer is generally one of two things.

• OP just wants to make a program and see it flourish in the world.
• OP wants to gain a bunch of karma and then turn around and sell the account for actual money. A user with over a million+ karma can be "worth" a lot to people, such as advertisers, that can wipe the history clean and start anew (deleting all your post/comments does not remove your karma), for example.

There is an extreme danger of these accounts existing. They can use the karma they gain from stolen posts to push a political agenda. About a year ago, Some of them were shown to be paid Iranian Government trolls.

Many subs ban users for posting top reposts to that sub. If this post is one of them, you can report it and a mod would end up removing it.

This reply was brought to you by a human using a RES macro, who happens to be a mod who does not like this type of behavior, the reason I have choosen to follow this bot around spreading information about it. I am not a bot. I am a human, even if I'm a really bad one.

bad bot

Mine is long gone

I like this. I'll have to shop around for something similar.

Add volume controls while you’re at it.

Clever. And it looks really clean too. I thought this was the remote for the new shield for a moment

Snazzy, lol.

What are those commercials about insurance and turning into your parents?

I paste a bandage tape on back to make anti slippery.

Can you put something together on how you did this?

Good idea. What about some glow in the dark vinyl?

Mine are stuck in the depths of my couch.

Now get rid of it and buy a proper remote

Kept losing mine in the couch cushions, got one of those Flirc usb dongles, and paired it up with my Harmony. Never looked back.

Dbrand?

😂 😂 😂 Good idea 💡

Well played.

That sneaky bastard... I have given up long time ago.
