Ad companies are often payed on “impressions” which bots that click on a link can count as. Or they are payed upfront for a ad campaign in both of those cases the incentive is to make it seem like as many people are clicking the link as possible.

I know how it works but thanks. Impressions are cpm vs cpc like you described. The incentive is to have the cleanest traffic in order to get bigger budgets from agencies. Yes, there are shady networks that will look the other way but the original comment stated everyone in the space is bot friendly.
