Re: [Skunkworks] OT: Ashley Madison - Most of the women were bots

Smh... Let it be known to all who believe it when they're told a website is completely secure: unless you're the one manning it, forgerrit!

I guess in many African settings, society kind of condones "a little on the side" for men, just not openly in front of your spouse/family etc. If you want to do it openly then you make it official that she's a 2nd or 3rd.. wife. This I suspect means an infidelity site here wouldn't work, or it would have to earn its money from ads. I don't see old men from Nairobi West paying a website for that kind of action.
The "interested" parties, were men who had spent more money on the site, so basically if you spent little $$ then you got the short end of the stick. Though considering how few women (compared to men) used the site, I'm not shocked they wrote bots.

Looks like interested parties were passed on to an actual person. Pretty much an end justifies the means operation running here. Site users must also have been satisfied otherwise it wouldn’t have been such a hit. Meanwhile what is happening in Africa? Besides SA our map is clean.

Apparently most of the men on AM (Ashley Madison), were conversing with bots. Bots created to get them to spend more money on the site.
Wonder how legal all this is? Does paying for their services guarantee you'll talk to a real person or... could they switch a person out with code.
