Brand Safety

Botted Engagement

Definition

Botted engagement is fake activity, bots, view farms, coordinated likes, used to inflate metrics.

Full explanation

Botted engagement artificially inflates views, likes, or followers to make content appear more popular than it is. Platforms prohibit it, increasingly detect it, and penalize accounts that use it, making it a brand-safety and policy risk with no real audience behind the numbers.

Why it matters

Botted engagement wastes budget and exposes brands to de-ranking or penalties.
