Botted or fake views on a submission
Every clip carries a bot-risk score built from the shape of its view timeline — bursts, plateaus, likes that don't move with views.
- A clip above the flag threshold shows a Bot risk badge and sits in your Flagged tab.
- When you reject a clip whose risk is high enough, a Botted views reason appears. Choosing it asks whether to ban the creator from your Shoot as well, or only report them.
- Either way the report reaches the Shoot team, who decide on a platform-wide ban.
- A botting rejection never lowers your campaign's public approval rate.
Already approved?
Use Report on the clip instead. That freezes the payout until the Shoot team has looked.
