When clicks are for sale — everyone buys. And millions of phones are utilized.
Click farms are illegal in China and have always been but that’s not deterring millions of people. Here’s how they work: Click farms use an automated process hacks into the normal App Store Optimization (ASO) practice, which requires developers to use certain keywords in descriptions and attract users by being a useful product, and are programmed to promote apps by imitating as a real user, who searches for certain keywords, clicks on the app, downloads them, and even write positive reviews.

Oh wow
And we also have a problem with those Chinese people in the gaming industry selling gold. They are called Gold farmers
How the majority of ad based tech giants have been able to report their earnings.
I have a very different kind of click farm . 500 androids emulated through VMware and esxi. I totally understand why they use physical phones , but it’s hilarious actually seeing it while mine is virtual. Anyone with a fairly decent understanding of technology, advertising, and programming can make 5 bucks a day using one android. Times that by however many you can emulate on your servers. Even if you don’t own servers , a decent gaming rig can run 1 android vm per 1 gig ram installed on that machine. (Core count and speed generally won’t matter too much compared to ram)
Tom Hanks just died !!
These farm forget to pay for geoblocking their locations! Maybe they can't afford that kind of expense.
can anyone please explain why would Thai police hit a click farm? I understand facebook might call it a fraud, but is it actually illegal? When I play a mobile game and watch a commercial without any intention to buy that stuff, the only difference between what I do and they do is scale
Why americans call it a china's problem?))
Even Chinese government are sponsoring it, called "50 cent army" so to promote positive communist values by spread of disinformation on all major web platforms to sway public opinions around the world.
Even though it is publicly banned in China to access FB, TY, Twitter & etc.
Murphy's law.
What don’t the Chinese steal. Theft is in their blood.
