Photo of my perk farm. It was a good ride.

This makes me wanna find pictures of my old farm, though I'll probably forget to look. I was running a total of 40 devices connected to my PC via hubs, and I even coded a custom bot to "humanize" them and actually interact with the apps, playing them as a human would, taking random breaks for random amounts of time, switching between the different apps, etc.

I ran that bot for years, updating it as needed (it needed updated at least a few times a month depending on the device. It played Pop Quiz, actually answering questions as a human would (this one didn't use OCR, it just answered the questions with random answers). It played Scratch & Win (mainly for the tokens), cycling through all the different cards. It played Word Search, using tesseract OCR to actually find all of the words and select them as a human would (because you got more points if you actually found the words as opposed to just letting them sit there). It played Prize Mob (using the tokens earned from S&W), and won a TON of gift cards. It played Perk TV, tapping on things as needed, and automatically pressing the dreaded "are you still watching?" button. It also used the Unlock & Win app where, when the bot would switch between apps, it would turn off the display and turn it back on again to swipe the unlock bar in that so. I've got some old videos somewhere from when I was testing the bot on the various apps like Word Search, Pop Quiz, etc, which I'll probably also forget to look for.

I also modified the Jetpack Journey app to allow me to achieve any score I wanted, basically by making the walls untouchable until the desired score had been reached, at which point I'd run into a wall purposely. This was helpful when they were doing the leaderboard thing where the top three players everyday won a $10 gift card. Speaking of modifying apps, I also modified Pop Quiz when they were giving $50 each day to the person with the longest streak. All I did to that one was make it highlight the correct answer so that I'm always tapping the correct one.

Later on, I also built in a licensing system so that friends of mine could use the bot on their own farms. It kept track of their earnings from their devices, charging them a percentage of everything they earned to be paid to be within 8 days after the end of every month. If their account wasn't marked as paid on time, their copy of the app would freeze until I unlocked it remotely after payment.

I feel bad for screwing over everyone on Jetpack Journey and Pop Quiz, though. For what it's worth, the only reason I created the bot, and later modified their apps to my advantage, was because they screwed me and several of my family members over by taking a BUNCH of money from us, and eventually banking all of us, when we were actually using the apps legitimately. But man, those were the days. :-P
