RE: My thoughts on the controversy over upvote bots
Like you, I want to know how to create and code one. Not because I think they're good or bad, for me or for the platform, but because I think I need to fully understand them and how they work before I can figure out my opinion about them. Like @whatsup said, this is groundbreaking stuff.
Last night I got to the point where I am able to find a post, apply some filtering, and perform an upvote. In all it took me about 4-6 hours to go from zero to having a python environment and being able to upvote (Windows 10). Now it's a matter of tuning (or... eventually... training). @xeroc did leave a few details out, but if you want to learn, the @xeroc link in my top post is a really good start.
Thank you for that. I'm gonna have to have my 13 yo son help with this, I think. :)
