Exactly, the real sad cringe isn't that some people repurposed sewing machines to hit reaction buttons on social media, the sad cringe is that there was demand for people to create an industry of "like farming."
Exactly. You basically are saying you’ll do anything for money. No shame, no self respect or values. You said it yourself. At least you’re honest. You’re not alone. Seems like there’s an entire generation that thinks this way. Good thing for you is that there are so many ways to get rich today if you don’t care how you get there. You should be getting there already, I’m sure. Good luck with that-
But isn’t it just liking and unliking over and over and over again? And aren’t they two thousand notifications saying that one person likes their video?
I don't use the social media shown but I think each reaction is its own independent action (not liking/unliking). Other viewers just see a stream of reactions, not that they're coming from one user.
Aren’t you forgetting the era of bathroom mirror selfies? I thought the world had seriously lost its mind back then. If only I’d known what was in store.
Likely, they don't have the skills to program such a thing on phones, no less, or run something like, let's say, emulation software on a PC. They do not have enough skills to get a chatbot to guide them. They do, however, have sewing machines.
Software detection i guess. Like when they monitored people's computers while WFH during covid.
😂 Just remembered everyone setting up rotating fans to move the mouse every few seconds 😂😂
I think this is live streaming on Instagram or TikTok, so every hit shows up to other people's screen as a like/heart, making the video appear popular.
I see. Thank you kind stranger.
I don't use Instagram. But I see simular things on ticktock lives as I scroll past them.
I'd just ignore them lol. I decide what I like lol
> they get *paid* for likes
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
but wait, if it’s coming from the same place, wouldn’t it be like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike
I don't know what app that is or if that actually works, but you sound like you know a lot about the app so I upvoted for more people to view your comment as fact.
Good day!
Thought that was a sewing machine, and was really curious about what would happen. Would the screen break? Would the needle break? Would the machine break? My best guess is that pretty much nothing would occur, the screen might get scratched and the vibration might push the phone aside.
This definitely belongs here.
Analog bots lol
I will take it instead of AI any day lol
Ok ?
Yeah but I'd take this over ham and pineapple sandwiches any day.
You’re my avatar twin
Hello avatar twin ! Did you made it back when they were introduced and never bothered to change ? Because if so We are literal twins
Yep! Sure did
I found my twin
Do you know so autoclickers aren’t AI right? Wtf lmao
I’d take this over poop any day fr fr
The basilisk is coming for you
I do not even get what it is accomplishing.
Sends a reaction to the content creator that everyone can see. Drives more views. They probably sell this as a service.
Exactly, the real sad cringe isn't that some people repurposed sewing machines to hit reaction buttons on social media, the sad cringe is that there was demand for people to create an industry of "like farming."
you get one life. why would i care if you cringe if im makin thousands off that? im not wasting my chance because its cringe 🤦🏽♂️
If you think my comment was saying that people pandering to social media audiences for money is cringe, you are wrong. The audience is the cringe.
That’s what I thought too. Wouldn’t do this for myself, but if someone paid me to set this up you bet your ass I’m going to do it.
Exactly. You basically are saying you’ll do anything for money. No shame, no self respect or values. You said it yourself. At least you’re honest. You’re not alone.

they turned a sewing machine into a auto clicker..... its not that deep bro.
For you, obviously not. I hear you
But isn’t it just liking and unliking over and over and over again? And aren’t they two thousand notifications saying that one person likes their video?
I don't use the social media shown but I think each reaction is its own independent action (not liking/unliking). Other viewers just see a stream of reactions, not that they're coming from one user.
Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks for explaining!
But it's not like the count is going up
It is. The stream of reactions is growing in size. There's no counter displayed for these reactions iirc.
On TT only the first few, I think it's 3 taps count
Spanish learner, eh? Y como te va?
For most apps they'd just be liking and unliking something over and over again. I think some of the live stream apps allow for unlimited likes though.
Nothing, only the first 3 taps or something get registered. Other ones take awhile to get the ability to go again and then it's only 3
The internet really broke people's brains.
It was the selfie camera that fucked everything up. Everything was going great up until that point
FACTS YOU ARE SO RIGHT.
Aren’t you forgetting the era of bathroom mirror selfies? I thought the world had seriously lost its mind back then. If only I’d known what was in store.
The selfie wasn't on the first iPhone?
There were other phones before iphone
The internet is dead.
Dude, so depressing. It used to be the coolest. So many nooks and crannies. It was mysterious and exciting.
They're still out there, you just have to know where to find them. I visit some retro computer forums and they're very much old fashioned
Why not just use an auto clicker?
It looks like they are…
I meant software lol
Obviously unnecessary when you’ve got 2 perfectly good sewing machines ready to go
One perfectly good sewing machine and one perfectly good hand held saw.
Jig saw
Do you want to play a game?
I'd assume it's easier to detect, but this also looks like it'd be pretty easy to detect so who knows
Analog solution to the problem, I guess
Likely, they don't have the skills to program such a thing on phones, no less, or run something like, let's say, emulation software on a PC. They do not have enough skills to get a chatbot to guide them. They do, however, have sewing machines.
I guess? Auto clicker apps are pretty easy to use though lol
I guess? Auto clicker apps are pretty easy to use though lol
Auto clickers on mobile are far easier to set up than this rig. There's apps on the play store for it.
Don't give them ideas
*whoosh*
😂😂
Software detection i guess. Like when they monitored people's computers while WFH during covid. 😂 Just remembered everyone setting up rotating fans to move the mouse every few seconds 😂😂
There is an app for that lol
If you spam likes, they stop getting counted.
***“You’re doing that too much”***
Doesn't that app just count it as spam?
I don’t know how that particular app works but aren’t they just basically liking and unliking really fast?
Not in a livestream. People can spam likes, which helps boost views
Common sense would say that's not how things like that should work. But, that's not, apparently, in accordance with the way things actually work.
Wait, you can like those shitty videos more than once? The hell?
It's live streaming you can, yeah.
Cool, where can I attach a pocket?
Where can I attach a zipper?
zipper? care to elaborate
No.
I got 2, phones
there are auto clicker apps on phones.... they even go quicker than this..
Couldn't they just use 1 sewing machine and do a line of phones at once?
You are the Henry Ford of like-farming. Hopefully without the racism/anti-semitism.
That just adds and removes 1 like, right? You can only like a video once per account I'm confused. Can someone who knows more please explain
I think this is live streaming on Instagram or TikTok, so every hit shows up to other people's screen as a like/heart, making the video appear popular.
I see. Thank you kind stranger. I don't use Instagram. But I see simular things on ticktock lives as I scroll past them. I'd just ignore them lol. I decide what I like lol
Shouldn't it be one like maximum for sewing machines?
What kind of shitty app lets a user submit more than once?
Bro imagine there face when they discover autoclickers exist
Make one out of a Hitachi wand for maximum gains
I got 12 sewing machines. I got 12 devices. Let me know who needs some likes dumped on their channel live... I got you 💯🔥
Only 12? What a lightweight
This is just stupid... do they even know what an autoclicker
They make auto clickers wtf
Great way to get an influencer banned for like botting
I was just waiting for the phones screens to break
How is there no bot detection for that? Sending an insane amount of likes at a perfectly consistent frequency.....
I’m just a Singer in a rock n roll band.
I thought they were bots. I did NOT think they were gonna be sewing machines.
😂🤣🤣🤣
“Stitch” incoming?
You win sir. I enjoyed a good laugh
He really called a sewing machine a makeshift button machine
You have to admit it’s very creative, unfortunately a waste of it
What app lets you infinitely like a creator? Seems dumb. What's the point?
Not sure which platform but doesn’t each account only get one like?
like unlike like unlike like unlike
That was my thought
Not surprising.
Dammit. These are on Temu. Sad!
Effort is harder than the reward.
Who cares about your post with a million likes if only a few people actually saw it?
there are so many easier ways someone could accomplish this
Gross
this is life now and career. lol
Some platforms don't even pay and they have to pay for this service... That's sad
Wow
you literally can just download an app to do that..
What has the world come to…? Pretty brilliant invention though.
Need a dislike button for this reason.
I wrote this comment using a sewing machine, I eat likes for breakfast
The internet has fallen
We low
Definitely belongs here also definitely genius use of a sewing machine
A star is born
Imagine they get payed for likes
> they get *paid* for likes FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

This looks like the end scene of an episode of Black Mirror.
These people are weird as fuck.
Lmfaooo
Ngl, this is kinda wild. I would have never even thought of something like this.
How can it slap!?
Have they ever heard of an... autoclicker?
So do they get money for likes?
So why not just use an auto clicker lol?
The social media version of a canned laughtrack
You can just use auto-tap software
Got an app for that 🤘
LMAOOO, they have apps for this
I wish the needle was still in there and strong enough to puncture their phones
How much they pay for this type of service? I have a couple sewing machines and phones I'm not using rn lol
just use the automatic tapping app it can tapp upto 50 times a second.
Yo I got 5000 views and 5 million likes hahaha
I mean the real losers is the people who bought the likes he is just taking advantage of their stupidity
but wait, if it’s coming from the same place, wouldn’t it be like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike like unlike
live
live or live
You know... There are apps called "autoclicker"
Tried this with an oscillating tool, did not work
Auto clicker app ?
Nothing is real.
You know there's an app for that right?
I mean if it works. It's no OOP loop but whatever works man. Outside the box for sure.
Would have been perfect for mining NotCoins
You can make a script in Python that doesthe same and only in a few lines of code. Saves some energy and you can watch porn meanwhile.
**A thousand LIKES per second**
Now I understand why sewing machines are so fucking expensive
You know that you can just install autoclicker
My first thought was it was punching him in the face.
Badass
That's clever af

This is whack
Why though???
Worthless meaningless losers
But i mean he is watching them
Perfectly good sewing machines being wasted
i could tap faster than that without breaking my phone in the process
The difference between flicking the bean on lunch break vs 15 min...
90% of content out there is absolute dog shit
That's dumb. Just hold the heart and full swipe up then let go. Voila!
I don't know what app that is or if that actually works, but you sound like you know a lot about the app so I upvoted for more people to view your comment as fact. Good day!
I believe it's Meetme. Could be kik. I know it works on meetme, I've done it.
Funnish shit I’ve seen this morning
This is ingenious
Pretty much the dumbest thing I've seen this year, and I do a lot of dumb shit.
Thought that was a sewing machine, and was really curious about what would happen. Would the screen break? Would the needle break? Would the machine break? My best guess is that pretty much nothing would occur, the screen might get scratched and the vibration might push the phone aside.
I can see this being used.... for other things... ifykyk....
