Features You Expect

Automated YouTube video view generation

Proxy support (HTTP/SOCKS, rotating IPs)

Multi-session control

Configuration via .env or config.json

CLI or Docker deployment

Getting Started (Quick Setup)
git clone https://github.com/y-t-bot/view-bot-youtube.git
cd view-bot-youtube

install dependencies (e.g. pip / npm)

copy config template → config file

set video URLs, proxy list, timing

run via CLI or Docker

Tune parameters (number of views, delay ranges) and start with low traffic to avoid detection.

Best Practices & Warnings

Use high-quality, rotating proxies

Randomize intervals/durations

Monitor logs closely for failures

Be aware of YouTube’s policy: using bots can violate terms and lead to strikes or bans
