Fun fact, you can make a bookmarklet that functions as a bookmark that runs this script. Pin it to your browser and now you have an easy button.

More of these please :). Great way to understand better how to use JS

[DevDrawer]

Awesome. it is so good to see a creator supporting other creators. Keep up the good work James.

[TomDoesTech]

Another great video, nice work James!

[OmerBen-Ami]

Fantastic mate. Keep these vids coming!
Would be nice if you made a mini-series with this content but it adds up to a mini REACT app.

[jesuschuyandres]

You can even take a step further and make it a browser extension. Good content. more like this please! :)

[cristhiangarciacastiblanco]

Great!!! Very interesting to learn more, thanks. 👍

Using the aria-label as a query selector for the buttons can be error prone, since a typo error in the 'buttons' array or if the developers change an aria-label, will cause you to miss the button that needs to be clicked. I would have gone with the data-reaction-id attribute of each "like" button which is unique for each one. Better yet you could execute a querySelectorAll() for all the "like" button elements within the "like system" container, iterate through the collection and have each one clicked. This way you would not have to hardcode any aria-label or data-reaction-id and would still work if the developers add any new "like" buttons in the future.

I enjoyed this video very much. I'll love to see making a plugin(or extension) for any browser using JS

Can you do series on how to secure your site ? Like running specific code in the console to see how good and secure your site it and how to fix the errors if founded . Thanks in advance

Love it! Did something similar to this on Tinder and had account on autopilot 😂

[eslamahmed]

I think "automation" is better description than "hack"

[dpklabs]

This was great - 'Likes' for all!

[pexeixv]

Would definitely like to see more video like this!

[donovanmcnabb]

Yes more scenarios or Real situations where and how you use JavaScript in the development of your project

[ansoriddinabdunazarov]

What is the theme you are using on your VS code?

[nosthrillz]

Really curious if you can create a very light weight selenium clone to do custom automation. I suppose you would need a headless browser to plug into

[zayidu]

What was the extension's name that shows "Document IS NOT DEFINED"?

[Dee-pmiu]

first time I disliked a video. the name was very misleading. and if all that is needed to alter the count of likes in client side why not just fix it up to any number we want... instead of incrementing it one by one.

Error: you are missing closing "]" in your first query...!!!
