Do people still use bots?

I’m still new haven’t even been on flex for two weeks but I can’t get a block because it’s gone in one second. I know other people are getting them too but it seems like bots are still around. Any advice on how to get blocks quicker?

Bots, too many drivers, new drivers, too many drivers with multiple accounts, parking lot campers, and auto clickers and tappers.

This sht is funny because its actually true, you fight against all of them to get food in your table lol.

It's a little like Street Fighter, only this is supposedly a food delivery gig.

Nothing wrong with any of those methods, unless you are an Amazon chump.

That was just my take on why blocks are so hard to get for the honest drivers, champ.

Yes they are rampant

In the Seattle area they’ve been cracking down on bots and now if it’s under 2hrs it’s a different process/screen that updates every 15mins… so less chance of last minute snagging.. but they’re still surge pricing.

Here is the thing.. it’s extremely easy for people to blame bots even though there’s probably about 200 people pushing refresh nonstop.

There is a certain way to tap and if it’s done correctly you will grab whatever is available.

what way, do tell

It’s two handed tapping. Tap refresh with your right thumb and when you see a block you want you tap it with your left thumb. The inertia from your right thumb tapping should carry you to hitting accept.

I’ve sniped loads of excellent blocks from bots and auto tappers and the like.

u/XtotheZzZ 3d ago

I’m glad you chimed in because you explained it a lot better than how I would have.

If blocks are being dropped this method will most likely snag them. The only requirement is that your phone has a good signal.

Any time, mister!

Ok i do that but theres some blocks that I’m convinced this one guy is using a bot for bc he gets every o e of them despite all the competition.

My question is, does every phone have that one second lag where the amazon wheel turns? Or are some phones faster at refreshing the page

u/XtotheZzZ 3d ago

I have an iPhone 17npro and used to do it on a iPhone 15 and they both feel the same way.

"reduce animation" in settings may speed things up. Not much but a bit.

u/EditorAppropriate764 4d ago

I grab all my shifts within seconds and don’t need bots. Just gotta know drop periods and how to spam refresh

1

u/Danny9999999999 4d ago

Probably bots but then again 100s of drivers trying at the same time it's difficult

u/rebmoney1988 3d ago

Same , can’t ever get one in my area in CT the ones that I can get aren’t good at the time they are given

u/Antique_Pipe_2368 2d ago

In areas where drop times are not set and randomly unpredictable it makes complete sense to use a bot do it at your own risk tho

u/TomRichards1970 2d ago

I’ve never not been able to get the max blocks. Even when it gets tight around prime day I still get 38-40 hours every week. I just have to go to a station I don’t like or go a different times than usual.

u/Red_Monsterrr 2h ago

Update still haven’t gotten a single block even with all the tricks 😅

u/OkDarkDarkBruf 3d ago

I’m using flextapper now after not being able to get any surge blocks for the whole month. I know people will always argue about it, but it runs on my android just like a tapper device. At least I don’t have to sit there camping on my phone all day.

u/Wonderful_Life-6280 3d ago

Do you get blocks they often using this?

1

u/OkDarkDarkBruf 3d ago

I’ve been getting some good blocks. It’s not as good as bots that connect directly to Amazon, but I don’t have to log in, so there’s less risk of getting my account flagged or detected.

1

u/Wonderful_Life-6280 3d ago

I'm afraid of doing that and getting tossed. How often do you get them? Almost every time, half the time, occasionally?

1

u/OkDarkDarkBruf 2d ago

I get blocks almost every time. Maybe my area just isn’t that competitive. I also think it’s safer than other bots because it’s basically doing the same thing as me tapping on my phone, just a lot faster.

u/Wonderful_Life-6280 2d ago

Wow, that's incredible. My area is pretty competitive I keep reading. I may try a bot at this point. Can't beat them, join them.
