WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it interact with the rival accounts?
No. WebRun only reads public videos and their visible engagement counts. It never likes, comments, follows, shares, or posts anything, so the watching leaves no trace on your account.
How does it know which video is a standout?
It compares each video against that account's own usual numbers rather than a fixed threshold, so a small account beating its own average is flagged alongside a big account's hit.
Can I change which accounts it watches?
Yes. The watchlist is yours to edit, and WebRun visits exactly the accounts on it each morning. Adding or removing an account changes the next run with no other setup.
