This is actually closer to view botting. This is a bunch of phones watching the same video/scrolling through the same article to generate views, watch ads, etc to improve the media's visibility. Picture shows that many are open on the same app, but watching the video you can see all they do is scroll. the screens shown in blue circles will transition to the current red circle screen
Usually response botting is done with a computer (this might have changed in recent years)
