Remember Twitter a few years ago?
Users are $$$. Nobody wants to talk about which are human and which aren’t. It’s all a game of hot potato.

I don’t think advertisers want to spend money for bot clicks.
That's why the social networks don't want to talk about the bots, but they are happy to have them.
Or maybe they do, because the big open secret in advertising is that they do spend quite a bit of money on exactly that
I don't even think it's a secret anymore, open or otherwise. As long as Vanity Metric Goes Up, it doesn't seem like anyone, anywhere, actually cares how much "economic activity" is fake.
