This post went viral back in 2020. I remember seeing it when he first did this using the wagon.

This actually was inspiration for a new "service" that's out there now, which is not publicized that much (because of obvious reasons).

There person running the service bought over 100 iPhones. They use Team Viewer to control all of them. The 100+ phones connect to 5 different hotspots, for internet access. They open up Google Maps on each phone and set the driving directions to a certain local business (the business paying for the service). Then, they literally drive to the business with all of the phones. This gets the business better Google Maps rankings, since it's "popular". Also, reviews are left using some of the accounts, as well as photos.
