What do you think is the "endgame" with these bots? They need followers to... increase their WoT score and thus their reach through the network... right?

They're not always bots, in fact most are real.
That's one thing it can be used for. I just think it's altogether scammy and cringe. I'll pay you to follow me, imagine that in real life, someone paying you a couple quarters to be their "friend" 😂 It's an immediate red flag that the npub has questionable content anyways, otherwise why would they have to pay for followers?
It can be used to get a real npub inside the WoT, then they can shepherd in the bots.
Right... so it's like "engagement farming" then? reach XYZ follower count, then pump a shitcoin?
