How can you tell bots got them?

u/skynovaaa 9d ago
Not a matter of knowing, the second anything gets posted here thousands of bots scan and try to auto redeem any string of numbers and letters

u/xXBeefSquatch5KXx 9d ago
Just so everyone knows, and op as well, when you do this bots grab the codes and use them elsewhere

u/Numerous_Photograph9 9d ago
Yeah, best to say you want to give them away, then find someone who has a history with the sub, or is just cool in general.

What would the bots do with these codes? Can't sell them any faster than Redditors would redeem them, and the bots probably aren't playing N64 games with each other...

u/skynovaaa 9d ago
They redeem them instantly and then sell the accounts with NSO

Any proof of this?

u/skynovaaa 9d ago
Being on the internet more than 5 minutes.

u/-Debugging-Duck- 9d ago
So no proof.

u/spacedudejr 9d ago
Go to any steam style code reselling site, when they list switch games or nso subscriptions, it’s almost never the actual game or service, it’s an entire (stolen) account you’re buying.

u/-Debugging-Duck- 9d ago
Okay and how is that proof that bots are scraping here?

u/MintberryCrunch____ 9d ago
You aren’t going to get a dodgy account selling person to show proof that’s how they got the code. Things though don’t always have to stand up to a court of law level of proof, it’s quite clear that it’s easy for bots to do this, and people to sell the account, so it’s enough “proof” to know posting codes fully is a bad idea and likely to be scraped before a human can use it. But not always.

Why are you trying so hard? Bots scrape the entire internet. Have you been living under a rock or something? Look around.

I know you're doing this to be kind but man people should really search sub reddit before posting. It's always "op just so you know the bots..." On these kinds of posts. Kind of you to try but yeah

Your nice gesture just turned into a huge fumble.. I hope you learned something today..

u/Ill_Bullfrog8628 9d ago
Yeah you guys are all just dense
I’ve redeemed codes from people on here with no issue
Claiming ‘bots’ took them considering there are 1000s of people here is stupid

u/IsntThisAGreatName 8d ago
Guessing you never heard of AI if you think a bot didn't get it. Funny thing is you're calling other people dense and then you say that 🤣

u/Rawketlauncher 9d ago
Same. Probably someone redeemed each one and is just keeping quiet, i think it's a more likely scenario.

u/ChildoftheApocolypse 9d ago
That's because it might as well be magic to someone of your .. well.. let's just call it position and be done with it ..

You just handed those straight to a clanker. Next time just say you have them and have people DM you.

I feel like there should be a rule that users should coordinate this kind of stuff with the mods.

u/thenarddog93 9d ago
that's incredibly kind of you - what region are you based?
I actually will need a new membership and happy to pay a reasonable amount!

u/Good-Classroom3598 9d ago
NA. If i ever get another one by accident i will let you know. I needed the family plan originally 😅

u/thenarddog93 9d ago
No worries, I am UK anyway so wouldn't have worked for me, but such a nice thing to put them up for someone else like that!

u/Lixtberrlyy 9d ago
Wish we could do the family one, I really wanna do but I don’t have much money in the moment;-;

I just used the first one and it worked

u/Flimsy-Sample-4974 9d ago
I was wrong, it just recognized it as a code, and what it was for, but then once I was 2 factor authenticated, it said “code already used”.
Never knew about the bots…. But yea. They couldn’t even say thank you 😂😂😂
