What are the disadvantages of cheating users into the VK group?

Question

Social media

Of course, I understand that bots don’t like and don’t buy, but they allow you to get to the top in Vkontakte search, and besides, there is an illusion of a popular community. Let's say we got the first thousand, and then we attract live subscribers, no one forbids this, right? In addition, we clean the group from dogs.
At one of the seminars on SMM, I heard a story about how the administrator cheated 500 bots, and then began to resort only to white methods. Two years later, the VKontakte administration blocked the community due to cheating users.
Are there any other dangers in this method? Could this story actually take place?

Answer 1

If something in the VK relates to the financial side, the activity is checked.
Apparently the administrator created the left group and wound it up as he wanted. And then he decided to make money on it and added advertising, which he tried to wind up. And then he was checked and banned.
Any social network has huge statistics and convenient tools for working with it, and all the things where you think to deceive them are unlikely to work. You need to fight in more cunning ways.
