What does the bot do with +1000s?

[YitzyS]

I'm not liking the idea of a bot that can control likes. What's stopping Russia or China from feeding it malware and running off with all our likes?

And don't forget the hyperinflation we will see in likes. We just won't be able to feed our kids on the number of likes we used to.

Checked - this isn't doable without access to the (Likes) database.

ETA: to clarify, it's possible to do, but the Likes won't be attributed to the original +1 poster, and when Dan does a Likes cleanup/recalculation these Likes will be lost.

The same thing that is done with MBM likes now.

Those issues can be addressed, but for the money it would cost to develop you might as well give YitzyS cash to feed his kids.

Did you ever taste cash? Terrible. Looks like lettuce, but has a real cottony taste.

LOL, I refuse to LIKE this though.

Sounds like the taste you’re left with in your mouth when you put in the effort to write what you think is a solid post and you get no likes….

Lol true

Pretty easy - scrape DDF for +1 posts (will be time consuming- hopefully won't get rate limited).
Then:
1) if the +1 post quotes the OP, then Like the OP
2) if it doesn't quote the OP, and the text is only "+1" and nothing else, then Like the immediate preceding post (or the first preceding post that isn't "+1")
3) if the post text is "+1" and contains other text, and doesn't quote the OP, then this may need manual reconciliation to figure out which post deserves the Like.

The issue is that the Like API doesn't allow the "liking user" to impersonate another user. That's why direct db access is required.
