Hey everyone, I recently checked out a small company because I was considering working with them, and the whole setup raised some questions for me. It was a very small operation, just two people in a room with multiple computers running at the same time. The idea was to use automation tools to perform repetitive tasks across several machines simultaneously. From a technical perspective, it was interesting, since it involved coordinating actions across multiple systems. But the actual task they described felt off. Basically, I was asked to use tools like OpenClaw / Claude-based automation to automate views on a YouTube playlist and also interact with ads when they appeared. There was also a 10-day trial period, and I already did the first day this past Thursday. I later found out they had already cycled through a few people doing similar tasks. I didn’t question much at the time, but looking back, I’m not sure how to interpret the situation. For those who work with automation or AI: Where do you personally draw the line between legitimate automation and misuse? And from a work perspective, would you walk away from something like this, or am I overthinking it? submitted by /u/Hot-Acanthaceae-159
