  • This App Will Give You The Attention You So Desperately Crave

    Here’s all that attention you ordered.

    If you’re the type of person that ends up feeling a little down when your posts on social media don’t rack up the likes, we have a treat in store for you.

    No more fretting about which filter to use (or being so brave, and using #nofilter), no more stressing about when to upload (I hear the evenings tend to maximise likes), and no more wondering about whether or not you should delete your last post due to the lack of likes.

    There’s just one catch – you’re the only real person on Botnet. Over to Mashable:

    The app…is like a Twitter clone that dispensed with the notion that bots can or should be removed from the platform.

    “Botnet is a social network simulator where you’re the only human along with a million bots who are obsessed with you,” explains the app’s website.

    Made by Billy Chasen of turntable.fm fame, Botnet allows anyone bored or curious enough to download it a constant stream of interaction from fake accounts. It’s an oddly fascinating experience, and provides insight as to why Elon Musk just can’t log the hell off.

    Elon is a touch addicted, although he may want to devote more time and energy to battling his new nemesis.

    Like so many apps, it’s free to download, but you can pay for some optional extras.

    I don’t even need to use Botnet to know that ‘Dad bot’ is going to be worth every single one of those 99 American cents.

    South African users will pay R14,99 for ‘Dad bot’, in case you were wondering.

    For those who miss the abuse that regular social media apps provide, you can also pay for trolls, or pay for double the validation from people who don’t actually exist.

    What a time to be alive.

    At least your data is safe:

    …this isn’t the type of weird data grab that we might expect from a real social media company like Facebook.

    “Botnet doesn’t record what people are posting,” [Chasen] wrote. “There are just some very basic metrics around installs and if people purchase upgrades.”

    Consider this your chance to run wild, and achieve the sort of validation that all of those ‘feeling down :(‘ status updates never did.

    Because you’re worth it.
