Read more carefully, I explained the context.
It's weird how after complaining you couldn't understand such a short post, you gaslight me about how "good" my reasons have to be for noticing obvious things.
Regarding the tools - currently using zint, ffmpeg, and zxing as I continue trying to do this. Was zbar instead of zxing at time of the original post.
Idea definitely should be easy for someone with more knowledge/expertise than me, and if anyone got the idea from my removed post, they can get it done faster than me and pretend it had nothing to do with me, thanks to my post being removed. But that's totally aside from the point of whether people think it seems like bots or just regular human stupidity driving vote patterns like these.
