Rather difficult without an insider at Apple and Google. The fraud detection systems used are based on dozens of checks. I doubt even these real phones pass, since they likely have low uptime, they have never been in a landscape orientation or face down, few system settings are customized, etc.
At least Android provides a public API to measure trustworthiness, but if you are in the business of selling clicks you may also be in the business of turning a blind eye to fraudulent activity that makes you money.
- bredren 6y agoI know a person who runs a bot on a social media app that does the follow / unfollow routine to boost an account. They've had this running for a few years. At first I assumed it was conservative enough to fly under the radar. However, now that this network is so big, the pattern of this fraudulent behavior must be unmistakable. It is so simple. The only conclusion I can draw is that the network is well aware of these bots, and so long as they don't draw negative attention, they are actually boosting "engagement" as the likes / follows do cause events that trigger people into revisiting the product--and ultimately reaching goals.
