It’s a tool, if you misuse a tool you can get hurt, if you use it right it can make your task easier. Ultimately it will likely cause problems in the future but the answer is easy, stop using Google and move to another search engine. You won’t get the responses from Googles ai then. Enough people do so, Google will change it maybe.
Hard to say isn’t it? If 100 users join and 80 leave you assume they are up 20 users. If the number of bot accounts that joined was 30 of those, they actually lost 10 users, and advertisements are selling more ads to computers than people. Unless we can separate real accounts from fake ones… It’s all useless information
