Baby bot
>OH MY FAUCI , ITS JUST LIKE MY FAVORITE INTERNET MYSTERIES VIDEOS!!!!
The Baby Bot is a bot who on April 28th of 2023[1] started mass replying to threads with a heavily compressed image of a baby Gapejak, the filename of which was randomised. It started out posting "first", "second", "third" or "baby" as the caption, and soon incorporated special characters to evade post filters, but eventually had to post without caption as this was even harder to detect. It also uses a slightly different image every single time in order to bypass image-based hashbans. The flood of automated baby soyjak posts led not only to this 'jak's rise in popularity, but also concerns over mass removal of VPN nodes as they got banned after usage for baby spam.
Strict auto-bans
As a baby-bot prevention measure, sharty added a filter for the word "second", which auto-bans anybody who dares say the word[2].
Shapes
On April 30th, the bot seemed to be defeated, but a moment later came back in full force with images of randomly coloured rectangles of various sizes and strings of random text.
The end of Baby bot
After days of spam from the bot, more of Cloudflare's protections were enabled, which worked to stop the spam. The site was also DDoSed shortly beforehand.
The return of Baby bot
On May 4th, the bot returned (possibly circumventing CloudFlare's protections), reverting back to the image of the baby and posting random words accompanying it, and after another lenghty period of silence, it showed up on May 12th to make more posts, now replying to a smaller amout of threads as another measure for avoiding getting filtered. It was fully able to bypass all of CloudFlare's protections and reCaptcha. The believed reason for this spam is to make people use Jakparty.soy instead.
The baby bot was also theorized to be the one behind the bot attacks on soyjak.earth.
On May 16, 2023, the baby bot returned and now dotspams on threads.
