Re: A rant about bots
Very loaded in this discussion about bots on the Internet buying up things in demand before the rest of us regular humans can even finish typing in our credit card numbers.
My colleague has a client that collects & sells sneakers as a side gig, that guy paid $6,000 for a programmer to build a bot that buys the maximum amount of the latest hottest shoes when they go live online. So the average person waking up early waiting for something to go live, doesn't even have a chance.
Identical to Parents trying to order Taylor Swift, BTS or whomever concert tickets once they go online. Impossible to compete with scalpers using bots.
I'm a casual collector, I only buy from the regular generations line and open up the Transformers to play with my kid. So far I don't think the online bots has hit our plastic addiction hobby.
Yet.
