Maybe I misunderstood but it seems the plugin clicks all the buttons.... every one... once.
So if the website notices that it can "unclick" everything exactly once.
Therefore only the manual clicks will survive because that button was clicked twice: once manually, and once automatically.
I think there is a setting to how often it clicks. From rare, 10%, to all, 100%. I understand what you’re saying about it now. I didn’t realise the option for all was there. I thought it was more random.
OK that is better.
Reminds me of how I considered swapping phones with friends for an hour while we each browsed, confusing our otherwise homogenous personality profile being compiled somewhere by Google et al.
But phones are too personalized to bother doing that now anyhow.
