Inside ‘Click Farms’ And Their Social Media Impact | TODAY

I knew it....
I've seen this rolling out over the past couple of years in UA-cam.
SOO many videos that within MINUTES have thousands of views/likes, and comments with hundreds of up votes seemingly out of no where.
Staggeringly obvious ratios if you look at it objectively.
But it's good to know people are playing UA-cam like the game that it is actually is... instead of treating it like a legitimate business!
8 Month old comment, still up for a slight argument?
@@joeybarela363 what's the argument?
CMBW I don't think this method is being used that often anymore, and I disagree with "like the game that it actually is" specifically
@@joeybarela363 Rather than it not being used "that often anymore"... it's 100x worse now.
NOW... it's shadow-bans, and deleted comments... WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING THE VIDEO!
Just click on any Keemstar video in the last 3 weeks if you need blatantly obvious proof.
unless it's a small channel, the views are likely real, since there amazing follow counts.
I have seen girls with over 100k Instagram followers but getting only 800 likes per post.
@@scottdonovan2166 Why would I want to hack an account ? This video was about fake followers. It's of a click firm.
Sometimes only few likes.
Wow
Surely they don't have to manually tap "like" on each and every phone in the farm. There must be some way that it can be automated.
yes you use the auto clicking apps
phillydisco i think virtual devices and accounts are easily detected and would cost more per month than a physical device that would cost only a few dollars if you buy them in bulk using a manufacturer like alibaba or aliexpress
@phillydisco Instagram and other apps are specifically built to prevent that. notice how tehy only have phone versions, and no computer apps. That's bc they're scared of that, lol.
@@AvitalShtap I think he's referring to simply emulating Android on a PC. For example, why not use BlueStacks? You can basically run hundreds of 'phones' from a single PC.
It depends on how much the click farms charges its clients
Shame on the music industry for pretending certain artists are popular. Shame on Neilson Soundscan for including these fraudulent streams.
shame on Spotify for acting like a record label
the music industry does the same exact thing called promotion, they hire girls off the streets from strip bars etc, pay them drug money, they promote the artists with school crowds most had no idea received a free copy of the album, they pass out give aways, they basically pay out promo money at the expense of the band and used to inflate it to rob the artists., music industry is fraud itself when you think about it, they are selling imagination.
@@nanatroublemaker1187 is that for real ?
@@Ali_Tabani yes it is but only works on Android if you have a computer and an Apple computer it will work as well you just have to have it activated at all times check out a video in my channel subscribe to the channel and I'll help you out if you comment in my video I'll help you out set everything up that you will gain money quickly use my link to get $5 a head start
Glad I still buy cds. Better quality. No fakeness
This man watered a tree
At least it's a real tree. :-P
madman
A tree is nothing but a big plant
The fact that this strategy is considered illegal and fake food in commercial or creating fake content for SEO or fake link for link building are not its ridiculously hypocrite.
the film and music industry was always fake, there was no real Rambo, Michael Jackson did not walk on the moon, clicks mean nothing to people investing in the artists for a tour or interview, the artists has to physically be able to sell out shows., the percentage of artists who succeed selling recordings is like 1 in a million, Steely Dan was the only artists in the world to sell 1 million records yet alone get on the charts with out a tour and everyone in the industry was talking about this group the same way you are abut click farm back then.
Everything is fake these days hair lips teeth bums. There's going to be a big awakening just like in the 70's with flower power!
80% of Twitter content is made by the same 10% of the people
thank you.
And you can easily see the fake comments on virtually everyone's channel.
So "what's trending" isn't really "what's trending", "what popular" isn't really "what's popular" and "influencers" aren't really "influencers". I'm not surprised by this and suspected it all along. 🧐 🤨
Wtf! 🤦🏾♂️ my whole social media life is a lie..
@ShaggyRobberts Right? Could you imagine what it would be like if the so called “influencers” saw their real number of views likes and follows? They’d match our channels. 🤣
You can usually see in the comment section. The comments are very generic. Not related to video, and they are always one liners with amazing positive comments
and you can smell the cow dung too :P
not to mention, all the hate driven comments are also deliberately crafted, social media based, attention seeking farms that are created to sow discord
What is the cost for install or set up a farm only for youtube views? Greetings from.Argentina. francisco
nice farm rack...can you share where you bought it or who built it. thanks
Finally! I was trying to figure out why all of these spam posts from India have millions of views. It'll usually have some movie clip with terrible quality and some annoying tiktok song flooding the audio. Its always in the social media or youtube rabbit hole.
why so many iPhones! Chinese Xiaomi phones are better for click farms of course!
Ikr?
Why is Xiaomi better for click farm?
@@Gr-ft4fh Because they're much cheaper and run Android
some companies, lets say fashion companies needs a real person to share their products on instagram. they look for a famous person (10k+ followers), and after evaluating that person they invest on him/her to share the products so other ppl can buy. imagine you being the investor and have lost money not profitting out of it bc the business was fake... your potential business could ruin bc of this
Devils advocate.
Some companies will buy a influencer or meme account that has 100k followers. Theyll delete all the photos and rename the page to there companies name.
Now imagine being a consuner purchasing a product because you think 100k are behind it.
In reality its 100k people who followed a meme page and the company just started yesterday.
Tell me any investor who has made his money legally without fraud or connections?? Not Bill Gates or Elon. There is always a dark side the rich people never talk about. Wait, life has never been fair to anyone. Once yu find tht out, yu always reach out for fraud to have food on your plate
I'm pretty sure political movents and corporations are using this too but noone is talking about that.
Just 50 viewes from those 50 phones? Something is whrong
Ha you spelled whrong wrong 🤣
This is what Charli D'Amelio used to get all her TikTok followers and views
nah, im pretty sure those are real thirsty pedos following her
They do not do it that way. They are connect to a computer. You actual think someone is standing there playing each video.🤦🏾♂️
Yea, they didn’t show that part at all..
That’s stupid to call it illegal just because something not real 🙄
What so click farm is illegal? Are you stupid?
Imagine all the radiation from standing next to 50 internet connected phones all day. Your'e not even technically supposed to hold a phone right next to your head becuase of radiation...
life in prison and ZERO social credit score
What’s the purpose of a click farm?
I don't understand how people never wondered why there is no single button click to save reels!!
Neilsen Soundscan needs to stop counting streaming numbers to dictate which music act is popular. Only real money sales should determine who is popular on the billboard 100, etc.
True. All these major labels are buying listens and video views
They all buying streams the game nasty
Noone buys music anymore.
There will always be fraud in a human based system. That's it. And the people who benefit from Fraud are seen driving lambo's and feraris and we still glorify them cuz they always lie to us how they rose to the top. World is unfair so i chose fraud too.
Surely there's a cheaper way to automate this... and without buying hardware. Why can't you virtualize these things on a server and spoof mac addresses for them? Maybe that's a thing already but it's just not talked about?
Yes but no one talks about it
Now I see why so many X-Rated Twitter pages and IG accounts always claimed they were "hacked" at such and such followers. 😂😂😂
Automatic scripting technology can be executed for almost all apps on Android according to human operation behaviors. It can complete automatic downloads, jump between different apps, automatically take screenshots, automatically receive verification codes and other complex operations. Can be customized according to your special needs, the speed is 15-30 minutes faster. Online update, stable and uninterrupted.
And how can i do that ??
@@user-qc3ki3nf4s not possiible like human
i think the time it gets them to setup each phone takes longer than the actual clicking 😂
They need an autoclicker lol
😂😂😂😂
crazy. But still if there are many likes, I just watch video few minutes or seconds and stop watching it, views do not make video more interesting.
No, but it will help it get featured, ad revenue, amazon revenue.
Disgusting even to think about having a Facebook account or Instagram
how does it bring money?
Amazing how far this has come in the last 5 Years 🤔
This was news in 2012.....
Journalism at it's finest
Amazon ask press filipinos 26k dollars for click farming
Wait till AI arrives
#NOTSPONSOREDBYAPPLECORP
😂 Like, is it really necessary for every single one of those phones on that wall to be an iphone?
This world is so fake 🤨
Yep
PewPewDie and MrBeast are cursing you guys right now!
I would like on social media the video of a guy watering his plants
This is so pathetic and sad.
That's one crazy monthly bill
Why use phones and not just code it up?
I think it makes for better tv if he does it this way.
Knew it
real question is the youtuber with anime profile pic did this??
Can they afford the phones to make click farm profit?
idk but maybe if there aren't many farms, like if it's a small business that only a few ppl can do, I'd say they make a deal with cellphone store owners
You can buy a ton of older model phones dirtcheap.
that explains my perspective
They made it impossible to be seen without paying them for ads... lol, but paying for clicks is fraud.. ok right.
I don’t see how it’s fraud if you’re not paying for something
Like the average person would come across that video and they lose nothing by viewing it. I don’t consider that fraud.
maybe I'm the only one who's watched this.....
Oh wow
Spoiler alert 🚨 this channel is a viewer bot
What about MrBeast and his views? Are they fake?
Probably
Most of them probably not at this point but he likely used this in the beginning to start the hype
China such a sad hightech life
What
Note this video has few views and few likes. Should have hired a click farm service
what is real in today's world?
How is this Fruad again?
No wonder my competition always gettingnmore views than me
Why is it fraud, though? You were misled because somehow a video with 50k views makes it more important/better than if it only had 5k? It's not much different than paying extra for your video to be promoted.
And the father of lies and deceit is the devil, and his sons are? anyone who follows him no matter in what way, shape of form.
do you got paid?
2.83M Subscribers and you got only 590 views? Looks like you invented Click Farm, buahahaha.
😂😂😂😂
You forgot Twitch
This what Americans do.
If only china and India knew what their power in numbers translates to, they would be some the most popular, control trends, get big money, etc
China and India are the main perps doing this. You've got it backward.
All comes from same location. Of course not suspicious
how is paying money to get ahead illegal....name any industry that isn't based on paying for success...get over it...no money, no honey
@Photonic Cannon Others are just smarter than you.
@@TomTKK Being born rich doesn't make you more intelligent.
@@b-tch.incorporated-tm You can be both, its not impossible.
@@TomTKK being born rich is also not an accomplishment, but Americans treat it like it is. Especially right wingers.
play the game
if its india, you can expect a swinging voice saying hello this is johnson sir, plz sir i am here to con you :P
😂 we use bots now!!
Hahaha i have 100 phones click form in 2024
The matrix is here.
Its not fraud ffs
This report is in itself very fake. Try and set up 50 Instagram accounts! That's the hours of work. Lol. Really poor.
🎉🎉🎉
Its AI , very few real people. China
Hi
Free market baby /s
poor child slaves are force to click on $1200 iPhones? yeah right!
How to contact me if I want to buy a view on your side
Jesus that’s beyond pathetic mean while half the IG n YT stars got there start 🤷♂️🤔🤔😂😂🤦♂️
This can make conformists really angry!!
Who can help me for starting a own click farm?
you buy 100 iPhones, and I'll click them. 😉 hehe
If you want views just make one million three minute videos and post them
Biden supportsers lol
The internet is basuuuuura
Smdh...
With 1 comment, lol😂
Please do your research before posting "news" stories.
Noone is sitting around manually clicking likes. If you have 50phones with 50 accounts explain how to get more then 50 followers and 50 likes on an account with this setup. Go ahead I'll wait.
lol, there are actuall work from home jobs that do this, also phones are reset new accounts and again all process is done
Eu gosto do face
Looks like Biden's election.
Lol. You shouldn't be upset about that.
Biden be living in your head rent free
Am a troll
