AstroTurfing : malware | Torhoo darknet markets

Is there a way to use malware to engage in astroturfing? Could I acheive virality through a botnet, whether made or sold?
Im new to all of this, so id have to learn LOADS of course. But any resources for this kind of endeavor?
Im thinking 100k likes on twitter level here. Tell me how feasible that is. thx.

I mean, there were botnets used in the past for silent ads / social media interactions (likes/views/whatever), but I am not sure if there is any point in using a botnet for social media these days (in any way) when a bot farm is cheaper (for your scale at least), easier to setup and will 100% work better than a botnet.
Bots have a lot of disadvantages in this idea (from uptime to country locks), the only good thing would be the IPs (but you can always use residential IPs, and they are pretty cheap nowadays) so use a bot farm if you have the budget.

There is also no plugin on any loader for social media (except recovery options), and botting on mobile is simply easier and less 'regulated'.

Thx for the comment.
Anyway to make money really quickly through relatively easy to set up fraud to maintain a certain level of virality?

Almost all methods take time to generate decent profits, especially those that do not require an insane amount of skill. I suggest botnets as a starting point for everyone, it's even better if you have connections with fraudsters, as you can sell hvnc access / logs more easily, and your main profit would be from mining and a botshop. I always recommend this because it "introduces" you to the ecosystem, what's being shared/gatekept, what's being purchased/sold, and you can also get reputation on some good forums and get more opportunities in the future.

! I am not into fraud at all, this is my recommendation for someone who wants to enter in the malware scene

One way you can do it is to use the botnet as proxies for creating accounts/liking/shares.
