And since it drives up "views" it means platforms can charge more for ad revenue. I wonder at what point companies will realise that 90% (or more!) of the views on videos are just bots and no human has ever seen them. Hell, there's probably already at least 1 youtube video out there with more than a million views and 0 human eyes have ever seen it.
