I wonder whether there exists a cottage industry of fake extension writers pumping up their numbers with fake installs, all with the goal to sell the fake extensions to these scammers.
- Buttons840 3y agoYou make the extension. I'll use bots to inflate the stats and make it look used. You pretend to not notice and sell-out. We split the profits. Fraud as easy as 1-2-3.
