In recent times, we’ve seen just how common it is to boost view counts and earnings using bots. Do you think there’s any downside to growing an audience with third-party bots instead of building a real one? I’d love to hear your thoughts—both from a moral/ethical standpoint and a technical one.
What do you think about publishers using bots?

Technically, using bots negatively impacts the system and reduces the chances of genuine content getting noticed. I tried it on my small channel before, and while bots boosted views, the real engagement was nonexistent. The numbers might trick you into thinking you're growing, but in the end, great content and your unique voice are what truly attract a real audience.
I just learned this too, robots give errors when talking to me 😅 Guess bots are honest with me! But earning money without a real audience feels weird, like my weird grandkid giving me advice 😄
