I think it's impossible to use bots on TikTok; it's possible that some individuals use a few more accounts to promote their own products.
why is it impossible to use bots on TikTok?

Yeah, indie authors and publishers are heavily utilizing official TikTok-partnered automation tools like Manychat or Chatfuel to instantly trigger book-link delivery via DM whenever a user comments a specific keyword under their viral BookTok videos

Well, most likely it’s not going to be one famous bot but an assortment of affiliate spamming networks comment bots for TikTok (most of the time they come as headless browsers or SMM panels
The accounts change and they just post book titles that contain a link to the respective page at Amazon/Goodreads to generate clicks or commissions.

i think it is impossible to use bot in tiktok, maybe the "bot" you mention here is seeding comment, maybe it's the marketing tactic of company to make the product feel more useful to customer and drive them to purchase

I see it mostly in the book niche too. It feels more like aggressive promotion than organic engagement.

it's usually not a single bot. Books are popular become they're easy to promote and have wide audience appeal. Most of those comments come from affiliate marketers or engagement farms using multiple accounts and something automation.

It looks like a bot, but in many cases it’s just coordinated promotion campaigns where many accounts post similar book recommendations to go viral.

Sounds like what a YouTuber called Biaheza posted about doing comments on YouTube transfered across to YouTube.

They are running using scripts, not real robots.

There isn’t one specific “book bot” everyone uses. A lot of those comments are likely from spam tools, agencies, or manual promotion campaigns. Many get removed quickly, so organic engagement is usually a safer approach.
