Fantastic encapsulation and commentary on the modern web and attentionspace. There's certainly better ways to do this, but here's one way to automate 1000 clicks from the console: for (let i = 0; i Automating this art piece probably also says ... something.

Running it async will prevent the main screen from lagging: (async () => { const delay = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms)); for (let i = 0; i

If you're already using setTimeout, why not just use it directly?

    function clickLoop() {
        document.querySelector('.main-btn').click(); 
        setTimeout(clickLoop, 50) 
    }

Unironically, if this was on Steam and monetized through their item shop, it would probably make a fortune. See banana: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2923300/Banana/

Banana is used by bots to exploit specific in-Steam tradable items and rewards. It's not a real game.

Can you explain this a bit more? I know there is a lot of shady stuff happening with Steam tradable items, but always fun to learn about new ones.

Since we're all sharing clicker games, this one by Frank Lantz is a real classic: https://decisionproblem.com/paperclips/

I wonder if we can get a superintelligent AI to play this one!

don't need it - just click the "click" button and then hold down enter.
