Indeed, I have observed that too. Certain aggressive methods may work for some time,but once the platform starts detecting such techniques, their effectiveness doesn’t last for very long.

Yes, the platforms that are strict have filtered many of the lazy competitors. I would now focus more on generating valuable content and using legitimate traffic sources rather than running CPA campaigns.
