    There are various programs/scripts out there with various degrees of efficiency, publicity, and TOS adherence. If you know something violates the TOS, you should stay the hell away from it. If you don't know something doesn't violate the TOS for sure, you should stay the hell away from it. If you don't know what a script or program does, you better understand the code, or trust the person who wrote it.

    I can understand how some people out there might feel desperate, but take a step back and really evaluate what you are willing to risk your account for. This is mostly directed at the people who don't have access to programs like the ones you've been hearing about: these programs/scripts will not magically make money for you. If you are concerned about having hits auto-caught by others, you would be infinitely better off sinking your time into learning some coding basics, or even studying existing scripts to understand them better, than you would be taking huge risks.

    Coding basics are definitely on my to-do list. I'm doing "alright" on mturk, but still feel like I'm sort of barely staying afloat and confused all the time. lol This is excellent advice for so many though.

    It's so slow today that I'm taking the web development courses on codecademy. I tried them out a few years ago, but it never really stuck.

    Guys, seriously, if Kad is saying "beedooo" about something....listen. Between him and the other dude (he's an asshat but he knows code so :dunno:) saying there is something up....be careful. Don't compromise your entire account over something like this. I've used stuff coded by someone else before, and I still side eyed it, and I actually kinda trust him.

    Between this and my husband being able to teach me, I generally feel like a lazy POS. haha

    You're an inspiration! :)

    This script is made my an unknown entity. I don't know why anyone would use it. Also, people feel like it's going to help them, but I bet they won't grind out hits for 8 hours a day to make a living wage. Might increase their ROI by like 1-2%.

    Beware of cats!

    Fucking Bearnie always takes it upon himself to jump on my keyboard whenever I’m using codeacademy.

    I’m still mad over the time he added a character to something and I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working.

    HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE THOUGHT IT WAS SOOOOO FUNNY I BET.

    People would use it because they keep hearing about secret scripts, and people do foolish things when desperate.
