I somehow cant see the pictures? Is this a kbin app bug?

I have some tiny bit of doubts left but at least it does sound like one possible reason for people swarming servers with bots

I have went through a similiar phase a few years ago after starting university and moving to a different city. A few years later I had the opportunity to get me some nice computer for very little money which brought me back into gaming but I honestly dont remember which game I played first.

Thank you for the clarification. Do you have by any chance data at hand about the development of active users? Or may you direct me to a community of where I get these kinde of data?

What is something someone can gain by swarming an instance or forums like yours with bots? I cant wrap my head around it. Also if someone has an instance and swarms it with bot accounts, it may seem like you got a popular instance but where is the revenue if there are noone who is able to click an ad? Do they do it just for the lols?

I wonder how people come up with the bot superstition? Just a feeling or is there any valid indication of massive influx of bot accounts?
