Question

iTicket, an online event-ticketing site, recently discovered that most of its good seats for a widely anticipated concert were preemptively booked in bulk by brokers. This resulted in a shortage of tickets that the public could have bought themselves. Which of the following would have best helped the brokers to book tickets in such large numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

bots

Explanation:

A bot is an application which simulates an individual's interaction with other users or systems. They are usually able to perform simple and repetitive tasks in large quantitative which would be very improbable for a human to perform, e.g. they can spend several days in social media applications.

In this case, brokers probably used bots to purchase tickets by making several small purchases.
