I beat rigged giveaways with a bot

The most unfair type of giveaway, referral based giveaways, have a system that either gives you more points (where the more points you have, the higher your chances of winning (or in some cases even guarantee a win)) or more entries for each person you "refer" using a specific link. This is not only unfair in the context of giveaways but also rather unethical if they have no "limit" to just how much you can refer, resulting in some pretty ridiculous situations where people have 1000%+ more points than you, which is really.... bad

Because of this I went ahead and created a series of programs that automate the referral process with both a generator and verifier, both were made using python
The code for the Mail Server can [PARTIALLY] be found here:

(I redacted the parts that actually verify entries, so it can be customized how you wish)
If you read this far, thank you ^^

So this video took a long time to make.... Sorry about that π€£ Ty for reading & watching! EDIT: I did win some of the giveaways but did not claim any of the prizes due to moral implications and not doing this to win in the first place, I wanted to show just how easy it was to cheat on these (and thereby win as a consequence). EDIT 2: We have a discord btw: discord.gg/8NcumxN

"I don't want just first place, I want the entire leaderboard" My sides are in orbit.
-
I actually love this : Goes straight to the point Has fun while doing it Fucks up fake giveaways And educates us that they are rigged
-
The moral of this story is: when you have a giveaway make sure you have atleast a basic captcha.

Not only did he win top place. He also rick rolled them top tight.
-
The fact that he did not claim any of the prizes shows how great he is

"I just like breaking stuff" at end just killed me π€£π€£

As a programer who loves breaking shit. I completely support this. Also awesome to like minded people. Keep up the good stuff β€
-
I would not mind sitting here for minutes, or even an hour, to watch this beautiful man build his bots and scam these scammers.

It felt like the story was getting better and more interesting and right at the high point it cuts off. I realized this is the point where other creators would add 20 minute pandering segment and you just cut all the crap out. Very good vid, liked

Will there goes my strategy for the past 6 years. π€¬

"Is there a moral to the story? Well no, I just like breaking stuff" Same, my man. Same.

Admins thinking how it was a close battle between Kian 1, Kian 2 and Kian 3.

Guy from Portugal here! I was so confused when I saw wuant at the start. Thanks for putting them in! Your content is amazing
-
This is really high effort and deserves more reach. Cheers!
-
I'm surprised they didn't check ip addresses for the incoming and outgoing clicks. For actual clothes websites I have to be careful to use different vpns to make it work
-
Amazing video Kian! When I first found this channel I expected way more subscribers then you did, you, are, underrated.

The storytelling, the editing and the content it's right on point, awesome video βοΈ
