Exactly, if you don’t know what it’s about, it’s always about money.
Introducing unclear rules, basically giving discretion as to what is a bot and what is not, what is fraud and what results from promoting one’s own works in social media or YT, introduces a huge scope for abuse for the person who sets such rules.
If there has been an avalanche in statistics within a few days, it either means that the creators are also IT specialists, creating bots that give them false points. Or the new rules are dramatically unfair. Or they were introduced to significantly limit expenses for creators. Or all of the above… Delete as appropriate.
I have recently started designing, I have only been on MW for a month, and I also share my models on several other platforms. I am not a fraudster, I have not programmed bots, and I do not use fake accounts. When comparing the statistics here, and on other websites, there is a huge difference between them, not a few dozen percent, not a 2 or 3 hundred percent… the difference is even tenfold!!!
