I suspect part of the reason for bots is to keep people on the platform. But if people start to realise which is probably going to become more likely as the number of bots rises and quality drops, then real people would start to leave or lose interest.

Could be short term engagement at the risk of long term platform health?

I'd imagine that's exactly what's happening.

Whether it plays out with people leaving remains to be seen. It's become such a busted out shell of its former self, I can't stand it anymore, but plenty of people almost certainly feel differently.
