If been in courses and workshops where people from the government party in my country teach people how to use twitter, specifically to boost the president and ministers posts. So they were training real people to act as bots and generate artificial engagement.

Also they are 100% using bots, and when bot accounts are removed they loose followers and claim that "imperialistic social media want to censor us".
