The mechanism is kinda like the Spotify fake songs case: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/north-carolina-musician...

In the same way, there was a fixed pot of money available split up by popularity, so making thousands of songs and streaming them as much as possible with bot accounts is profitable, even though each bot account cost a few dollars per month.

Here, the bots you use to juice your numbers don’t even need a subscription fee!
