![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/9/c/9c25d9d5c54f319eec1dfa996059703275edbf08.jpeg) ## Introduction A modern (and portable) approach to inflating view counts in Youtube - using [Puppeteer](https://pptr.dev/), [TOR](https://www.torproject.org/) rotating proxies and [Docker](https://www.docker.com/). > **Disclaimer:** This project is intended for informational/educational purposes only. I strictly recommend against using it to artificially inflate video view counts for monetary benefits and/or other use cases that goes against the Youtube Policies & Guidelines and/or the law of the land. ## Prerequisites 1. Install [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) 2. Install [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) 3. Clone the repo (or download it). 4. Copy the video urls to `urls.txt` file ( **Note** : A line may contain a single URL only) ## Build & Run Steps The following commands will help create a docker image, build the app and run it - ~$ docker-compose build ~$ docker-compose up --scale ytview=5 If you happen to have _npm_ in your system, you can also choose to run the app via - ~$ npm run build ~$ npm start ytview=5 ## Fine tuning for performance ### Concepts: - **Batch** : Browser instances running in parallel. - **Batch Count** : Number of parallel browser instances to run. - **View Action** : This represents a single browser instance picking up a fixed number of urls from the pool and visiting them sequentially. - **View Action Count** : A single browsing session will watch these many videos sequentially. - **Total Count** - Total number of view actions. Ensure this number is exactly divisible by **Batch Count** for optimal resource utilisation. - **View Duration** - Average duration in seconds of a single view in view action. Actual view duration will be +/- 16.6% of this number. You may choose to alter the above params in `utils/constants/index.js` for fine tuning according to your needs. Also, the above commands runs 5 docker containers in parallel (which will translate to 5 x **Batch Count** number of Chromium instances running simultaneously) . Adjust this according to how capable your system is. ## GitHub: > **[GitHub - soumyadityac/youtube-viewer: 🤖 A view bot for Youtube.](https://github.com/soumyadityac/youtube-viewer)** > > 🤖 A view bot for Youtube. ---
