Its kind of evil to create bots to try and manipulate a nascent social media platform that is trying to get started, or to spam it generally. Its bad on larger platforms too of course but there's just something particularly antisocial about it. 

Proportionally its like shoplifting from a global conglomerate that treats it as an accounting write-off vs. from a mom-and-pop store trying to get started and whose business and wellbeing you may genuinely aim to undermine.
