Hijacking browsers? We're getting pretty sophisticated and far fetched. If you've hijacked someone's browser there are many better ways to make a profit than spiking a competitors ad buys. So basically we've narrowed down the potentially bot makers to: 1) Has a way to hijack thousands of facebook user's browsers, and is more interested in spiking some companies ad buys than other profitable activities they could be doing. 2) Has access to stolen credit cards so they can spend the money required to debug and test their bot's humanity against the defensive algorithms. Spending money in order to indirectly make money because some company is paying them to spike a competitor's ad buys. Obviously this is going to cut into their margins, so the amount they spend should be less than they're being paid. 3) Has the patience and dedication to analyze the bills when they come in to determine how much of their activity is considered botlike and then tweak their behaviour accordingly. 4) Thousands of budding script kiddies are also being payed by companies to spike their competitor's ad buys. 5) Rides a unicorn? Don't forget there also needs to be companies willing to pay someone to make these bots and don't mind how incredibly difficult it would be to measure it's success. In fact, if there are companies willing to pay for this, then you're going to have a whole bunch of scammers who simply claim they're able to do it that the companies will have to filter out. We're incredibly far into the realm of unprofitability and edge-casery don't you think? An alien spaceship is going to land in my backyard before this happens.
