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.

>FIrst off, to talk about it as being text file isn't very helpful for most people.

Oh yeah because that's going to be helpful to call it a "data set" or "ASCII file" or "data file" gtfo, normies know what a text file is, there's text and file in it, and that's what it is, that's fine

>That's like talking techno-geek-gibberish to your client or business stakeholder.

Oh yeah... Text file is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo "techno-geek", fuck you

>A cookie is a piece of data.

Are you serious or retarded as fuck? You lost all normies with your "piece of data"

Jesus christ

>It's used by a server to track who the client is.

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.
