Some websites I have visited during the early 2010s such as some flash game websites allowed users to vote as guests.

To keep votes accountable, some sites solely relied on browser cookies, meaning that if I deactivated cookies in the browser, and ran an auto clicker software, I could upvote some resources as often as I wished.

I guess no web developer is this foolish in 2020, but in the early 2010s, some web developers actually were.

I remember it having worked once on LEGO.com video resources. I added >5000 likes to some video I found there just for testing.

I guess the LEGO.com site developers did not expect children to figure that out, and were surprised when one video suddenly got >5000 likes in one day.

Why are you projecting here?

This thread is about client side cookies and lame web practices, you go off topic, you get your ass handed to you, and now you are going to pretend what? That you don't look like an idiot?

Tell me again how "a piece of data" is not at all techno-geek-gibberish to describe a fucken text file to normies you moron

All your bloviation, kvetching, and insults only aid in establishing that you're a moron. I'll end here else people see me talking with you and mistake us for freinds.
