ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Votebots

Okay kiddo, let me explain what votebots are. Imagine you are playing a game with your friends and you want to win, but you can't because your friends vote against you. So, you create a robot that can vote for you. This robot can vote for you multiple times and make it seem like lots of people voted for you. That's what votebots are - robots that can vote for someone again and again, making it seem like lots of people voted for them even if they didn't.

But, this isn't a good thing because it's not fair. It's like cheating in a game. In the same way, votebots can be used to cheat in online voting, like on social media or during a contest, by making it look like more people voted for the person or thing they want to win. This can be harmful because it stops the true winner from actually getting the prize or recognition they deserve.

So, remember to always play fair and never use votebots to cheat in games or contests.
