The complaint doesn't allege that MM wrote any code. They took an account, and set it to follow a bunch of folks who post "hateful content." They then just scrolled and refreshed their feed. Not by a billion tries, either - per the complaint, they engaged in activity that generated about 13-15 times more ads per hour than a "typical" user. More, but not a crazy amount more.

A sophisticated operator would have written a script - code, if you will - to do just that.
