What is something someone can gain by swarming an instance or forums like yours with bots? I cant wrap my head around it. Also if someone has an instance and swarms it with bot accounts, it may seem like you got a popular instance but where is the revenue if there are noone who is able to click an ad? Do they do it just for the lols?
I wonder how people come up with the bot superstition? Just a feeling or is there any valid indication of massive influx of bot accounts?
This sounds so fucked up man. Reddit is really killing itself
This is probably the best summary for how tech business works
