I think people are using bots to grab the spots as soon as they become available

  Yes, and that’s definitely shady. But what are the shenanigans one must go through to reserve a campsite?

    Using a bot to reserve it before all the other bots snap it up.

      Okay, I guess I was confused about how people buy tickets to concerts online. I've always just...gone to the official ticket website and purchased the ticket. I've certainly never created a bot.

        Have you ever tried to get a ticket to something that sells out in seconds?
        • baddox 7y ago
          Perhaps not in seconds, but certainly minutes or hours or the first day. But that's still not the point I'm making. If bots are a significant reason that something is selling out within seconds, then changing the system from first-come-first-serve to a lottery will probably not significantly increase your chances as a human of getting a ticket (because whoever runs the bots can make essentially as many bots as they want).
