PhantomBuster is my secret Growth weapon. I have been using it for over a year now, and it's amazing the value I've been able to get from it. My #1 usage? Getting upvotes & likes from Linkedin posts

I use this tool on a daily basis for Growth Tribe for our lead generation effort. Really love the interface and playbooks that are updated on a weekly basis. If you are in charge of acquisition / demand generation you should definitely have a look :)

Surprised no one has had a problem with this. Your site is basically a black-hat type of growth supplier. Disguised as "Growth hacking". More than half of these methods are actually against TOS.

As cool as this is, isn't this probably against most of those social medias terms? I would worry this app would be shut down fast, or trimmed of all of it's utility, the second those networks realize what you are down. Basically allowing someone to spam their network. It just takes 1 bad apple user on Phantombuster to shut it all down. This seems really useful, at a glance, but I worry about the ethical side, and if it can actually last.

Hello @bluetidepro, Thanks for your comment. Phantombuster emulate human actions, nothing more. The next version of Phantombuster will be able to rate limit writing actions.

@guillaumeboiret ahhh okay, that's good to know. Yeah, it looks awesome, just had those concerns. Thanks for the reply!

I've used this several time to increase my social media reach, it works very well and anytime I would be stuck doing something, I would get help same day by the phantombuster team.

Pros:

They make it easy to do hard stuff. Love their UI Technical / Marketing team very helpful

Cons:

I would like to see more tutorial to build our own bots!

Pros:

It's the best marketing tool ever created

Cons:

Add a few more APIs that I haven't thought about

Josh Fechter
Best tool ever!

Pros:

Constantly updated Easy to use Great support

Cons:

It is intimidating at first, but actually once you start, it's easy!

@narek_vardanyan Hi! Thanks for your comment, do you need an specific API?

This seems like a tool to make spamming and scraping social networks easier. This is exactly the stuff destroying all the online places i used to love. Filling them with fake accounts, scraped hashtags and false likes in attempts to build a meaningless following. Instagram is now so full of “marketing professionals” that it’s nearly unusable. Shame on anyone for using this stuff. I hope you all end up following each other’s spambots and wasting your time spending VC capital in a giant ouroboros of fake likes.
