The executive team at my company was in shambles because no one was using the company intranet. So, they demanded that the company intranet be launched when a computer turns on. They were ecstatic that the numbers reached almost 100% in a day, even after being fully explained, and understanding, that the new traffic was, of course, not a real figure. All of the new numbers never went past the home page. Still, they patted themselves on the back, and partied.
So I guess what I’m getting to say is more people either wouldn’t care, or would even celebrate the fake data than one would think.

I’m going out on a limb here and assume these bots don’t count as an impression, but they will market it as an opportunity to show your ad to the followers of the bot account.

The advertising companies would riot if they did count as impressions, so Facebook would either not count them as such, or hold off on them for that reason.
