Take it a step furher.
reddit has known bot hoards, and then uses those numbers in board meeting, "We have xxxxx amount of unique users who visit and comment every day"
they're also fucking the shareholders. Same goes for twitter, "x amount of engagement" when they know damn well that a lot of that engagement is bullshit bot, a war of ideals while stabbing their own side in the back.
