So what they can bot with VPN without signing in?

Bot can automate views. It's why Youtube keeps trying to move towards "engagement". Comments, likes, etc, all require an account, which is an extra hurdle for bots.

Then I will they just doing half the work. They can just get the site account walled for that goal, not a half patch work of blocking VPN users.
